Mehlwyn Law

About Mehlwyn Law

Mehlwyn Law is a remote family law, wills and estates, and employment law practice based in Burlington, Ontario, led by lawyer Michelle Mehl. The firm negotiates cohabitation agreements and marriage contracts, handles separation and divorce, and prepares wills and estate plans aimed at protecting a client's legacy and simplifying probate. It also reviews employment matters such as severance, dismissal, and employment contracts. Because the practice runs remotely, it isn't tied to a single storefront, and after hours and in home consultations are available on request.

Mehl's background spans two continents. Mehl earned a Bachelor of Arts and a Bachelor of Laws from the University of KwaZulu Natal in South Africa in 1992, followed later by a master's degree in family law, completed cum laude. Before moving into law full time, Mehl served as a police officer in South Africa, rising to the rank of Superintendent, and worked as in house legal counsel for the South African Police Service. After relocating to Canada, Mehl spent seven years as a family law clerk in Hamilton and also worked as a law lecturer, then completed a Canadian Certificate of Accreditation in 2018 and was called to the bar in Ontario in 2019. Mehl articled and practiced at a firm serving Hamilton, Oakville, Milton, and Burlington, and is trained in family mediation and collaborative practice.
