About Melnyck Scott Lawyers

Melnyck Scott Lawyers is a family law and personal injury firm at 475 Bond Street West in Oshawa, Ontario, in practice since 2003. Erin K. Melnyck focuses exclusively on family law, handling custody, access, child support, spousal support, separation agreements, and divorce, along with collaborative and limited scope options for clients who don't need a full retainer. Melnyck holds a Bachelor of Social Work from McGill University and an LL.B. from Osgoode Hall Law School, was called to the Ontario bar in 2003, and spent eight years as an agent for the Office of the Children's Lawyer, representing children in custody, access, and child protection matters.

W. Jay Scott handles the firm's personal injury work, representing people hurt in motor vehicle, motorcycle, cycling, and pedestrian accidents and in slip and falls. Scott came to law after 25 years in the telecommunications industry, including a decade in damage prevention work that involved negotiating and approving claim settlements alongside a legal department, before earning a Juris Doctor from Osgoode Hall Law School and being called to the Ontario bar in 2016. Both lawyers are enrolled with multiple Employee Assistance Program referral services, and the firm offers a free 30 minute consultation to new clients.
