About Berry Family Law

Berry Family Law is a family law firm based in Oakville, Ontario, operating from the Ennisclare Corporate Centre on North Service Road West. The team includes associate lawyers Hiral Joshi and Daniel Owolagba, senior law clerk Charles Baker, and junior law clerk Kyle Rellinger, working alongside managing principal Susan Berry, who has practiced family law in Ontario for more than fifteen years. The firm says it has more than 30 years of experience in family law and describes its work as tailored to each family's situation rather than a one size fits all approach.

The practice covers family litigation, mediation, prenuptial and cohabitation agreements, separation agreements and parenting plans, uncontested divorce, and wills. The firm also has a notary public on staff, and handles notarization in house, everything from travel letters for children going abroad to certified copies and foreign divorce opinion letters, without sending clients elsewhere. Its family litigation page says the goal is not to push every case to trial but to advance it at each stage so clients can make an informed choice about settling or going to court. The firm's team page also lists Riley, an emotional support animal, among its staff.

The neighbourhood

Berry Family Law's office is in the Ennisclare Corporate Centre, an office park on North Service Road West in Oakville. It's a working office building rather than a downtown storefront, the kind of setting a number of professional service firms in the area use. The firm pairs in person meetings with a client portal for booking and documents, which can help clients who are juggling court dates, work, and parenting time and can't always get to the office during business hours.

Frequently asked questions

Can Berry Family Law represent me in family court?
Yes. The firm handles family litigation for parenting, child and spousal support, and property disputes, and it says its approach is to advance a case at every stage rather than push every matter to trial, so clients can make an informed choice about settling or going to court.
Does Berry Family Law offer mediation instead of going to court?
Yes. Susan Berry acts as mediator for parties working through parenting, support, and property issues outside the courtroom, using an intake process that screens for domestic violence and power imbalances before mediation proceeds.
I'm getting married or moving in with a partner, can the firm help with a prenup?
Yes. Berry Family Law prepares prenuptial and cohabitation agreements covering property, debt, and financial responsibilities, though these agreements can't set parenting arrangements or limit a child's right to support.
I'm separated. Do I need a new will?
Likely yes. The firm notes that separation alone does not change your legal status as a spouse in Ontario, so a separated person's old will can still leave an estate to a former partner unless it's updated.
Can Berry Family Law notarize documents for me?
Yes. The firm has a notary public on staff, so it can notarize travel letters for children going abroad, certified copies of documents like birth certificates, and other papers in house.
My divorce is uncontested, can the firm just help me finalize it?
Yes, the firm lists uncontested and simple divorce as a service, helping clients obtain a final divorce order where the parties already agree on the terms.
