Talbot Law

About Talbot Law

Talbot Law, operating as Talbot Family Law, is a small Sudbury practice that has served family law clients since 2003. It focuses on family law and the criminal matters that come up inside a family law file, including domestic violence and sexual offenses, and the firm also takes on Children's Aid Society and child protection cases. The firm drafts separation agreements and offers flat fees for that drafting work rather than an open-ended hourly bill.

The firm's founder, Lance Carey Talbot, attended secondary school in Sudbury, then earned a BA at the University of Toronto and an LLB at York University's Osgoode Hall Law School. Talbot was called to the Ontario Bar in February 1994, worked as a research lawyer and later as a policy analyst on Parliament Hill, and was admitted to the Roll of the Law Society of England and Wales in 2002, before returning to Sudbury to start a sole practice in criminal and family law in 2003. Joshua Saghie, called to the Ontario Bar in 2024, joined afterward, having earned a law degree from the University of York specializing in corporate and commercial law and worked previously in management consulting.
