Daniel Hall, Barrister and Solicitor is a solo family law practice with an office on Burloak Drive in Burlington, Ontario. Daniel Hall was called to the Ontario Bar in 1984 and has focused on family law, separation, and divorce ever since, a career that now runs more than four decades. The practice describes its client base as the Burlington, Oakville, and Hamilton area, and the day-to-day work covers custody and access, child support, spousal support, division of property, and divorce.
Outside of client files, Daniel Hall has taught law courses at both Niagara College and Conestoga College and wrote two law textbooks used as part of the curriculum at those schools. Daniel Hall was also one of the co-authors of the family law and divorce exam questions used in the Law Society of Upper Canada's bar admission course, the licensing course new Ontario lawyers complete before they can practise. On the file side, the firm works through a range of routes before court becomes necessary, including four-way meetings with a separating couple and their lawyers, mediation, the collaborative law process, arbitration, and a parenting coordinator for ongoing custody or access issues.

The neighbourhood
The office sits on Burloak Drive in Burlington, a road that runs right along the municipal line between Burlington and Oakville. For a practice that has always described its client area as Burlington, Oakville, and Hamilton, an office on the street that runs along the boundary between the first two puts it close to the middle of that service area.
Frequently asked questions
- What areas of family law does Daniel Hall handle?
- The practice covers separation and divorce, custody and access, child support, spousal support, and division of property, along with related agreements like marriage contracts and cohabitation agreements.
- Do I have to go to court to get divorced or work out custody?
- Not necessarily. Daniel Hall discusses several routes with clients before court, including a four-way meeting with a spouse and their lawyer, mediation, the collaborative law process, arbitration, or a combination of these, and can go over the advantages and drawbacks of each for a particular situation.
- At what age does a child get a say in a custody decision?
- There's no set age. Custody decisions are made based on what's in a child's best interests, and a child's own wishes carry more weight as they get older. A young child's preference has little impact, while a 12 year old's views are given real consideration.
- What does child support actually cover?
- Ontario's child support guidelines set a base Table Amount for everyday costs like food, shelter, and clothing, generally based on the paying parent's income. On top of that, Special Expenses such as university tuition and residence, orthodontic or other medical costs, daycare, and some extracurricular activities are usually shared between both parents based on income.
- How much does an initial consultation cost?
- Daniel Hall offers a one hour initial consultation for $150 plus HST. If the client retains the firm afterward for a separation or divorce matter, that $150 is credited back against the account, making the initial consultation effectively free.
