Brian Korb Law is a sole family law and criminal defence practice on Byron Street South in Whitby, Ontario. Brian S. Korb was called to the Bar in 1984 and practiced for many years as a general practitioner before concentrating on family law. Since 2012, the practice has focused on resolving separation and divorce through the Collaborative Practice process, negotiating outside of court on custody, access, child and spousal support, and the division of family property, rather than litigating those issues before a judge.
Korb sits on the Board of Directors of Collaborative Practice Durham Region and belongs to Collaborative Practice Toronto, Kawartha Haliburton Collaborative Practice, the International Association of Collaborative Professionals, the Canadian Bar Association, and the Durham Region Law Association. In February 2010, Korb was appointed a Dispute Resolution Officer in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice in Oshawa. The practice also takes on criminal defence matters in the Greater Toronto Area, including domestic assault, assault, and property offences, and is listed in Legal Aid Ontario's directory of criminal lawyers. It assists as well with Wills and estate planning.
