About Stephen M. Arnold, Barrister and Solicitor

Stephen M. Arnold, Barrister and Solicitor, is a Partner at Arnold & Arnold LLP Law Office, a family and criminal law practice on 3rd Avenue East in Owen Sound, Ontario. Arnold was called to the Bar of Ontario in September 2013. Arnold holds a Bachelor of Arts in History from Wilfrid Laurier University (2009), completed an international exchange at the University of Groningen in the fall of 2011, and earned a Juris Doctor from the University of Western Ontario in 2013.

The practice handles custody, access, child and spousal support, property division, and divorce, along with collaborative family law and mediation, and represents parents in matters involving the Children's Aid Society. On the criminal side, Arnold defends charges ranging from motor vehicle and drug offences to firearms and violence offences, and negotiates reductions or withdrawals of charges when the facts support it. The firm describes a client driven approach: it offers advice and explores options, including alternatives to litigation, but leaves the final decisions to the client. Consultations are free, and the firm bills by the hour.
