About Russell I. Alexander Family Lawyers

Russell I. Alexander Family Lawyers is an Ontario firm that has practised exclusively in family law since 1998, when Russell Alexander opened the firm's first office in Lindsay. The firm later added a Durham Region office in Brooklin in 2006 and a Markham office in 2010, and it now has more than nine lawyers and staff working across those locations. This site targets searches for family lawyers in Cobourg, but the firm doesn't have a physical office there. Clients who reach the firm through this site are generally served from its Durham Region office in Brooklin, by phone or by appointment.

Alexander earned an Honours Bachelor of Arts from the University of Toronto and a law degree from Osgoode Hall Law School, and has practised family law for over twenty-five years. The firm handles the full range of family law matters, including divorce, child and spousal support, custody and access, division of pensions, and paternity disputes, and it offers collaborative practice and arbitration alongside conventional litigation. Rather than charging for an initial call, it offers a free, no-obligation telephone consultation to new clients.

  • Alexander writes about family law issues on the firm's FamilyLLB blog and contributes to its Family Law Now podcast, both aimed at helping the public understand family law.
