About D&JP Pietrangelo Law
D&JP Pietrangelo Law is a small family law practice in Guelph, Ontario, run by lawyer Jim Pietrangelo and paralegal Danielle Kinnear-Pietrangelo, whose names give the firm its initials. Jim Pietrangelo was called to the Ontario bar in 2002 and has practised family law ever since, building trial and court experience across more than two decades. Trained in Collaborative Family Law and working as a family law mediator, the practice presents mediation as a less costly and less stressful alternative to court, a process it describes as letting clients shape their own outcome and reach solutions a courtroom cannot order. The firm prepares separation agreements, marriage contracts, and cohabitation agreements, handles family law disputes and adoptions, and has acted in children's law matters over the past decade.
Alongside the family work, the paralegal side of the practice takes on small claims court actions, collections on unpaid accounts, provincial offences, and summary conviction matters, drawing on roughly twenty years in the legal field. One less common thread runs through the firm, which is animal law. It lists animal law education among its services, reflecting a background in fostering behaviourally challenged animals and a certification in force-free, positive reinforcement training. It's a compact, two-person office built around personal, direct client service.
