About Joel J.W.G. Szaefer Professional Corporation

Joel J.W.G. Szaefer Professional Corporation is a family law firm on Christina Street North in Sarnia, practicing exclusively in divorce and family matters for clients across Sarnia and Lambton County. It's a solo practice built around its founder, Joel Szaefer, who was born and raised in Lambton County.

Szaefer holds an Honours Bachelor's degree, a Master's degree, and a Juris Doctorate from the University of Western Ontario, with legal training focused primarily on family law. Szaefer is a member of the Canadian Bar Association, the Ontario Bar Association, the Advocate's Society, and the Association of Family and Conciliation Courts, and appears before the Ontario Court of Justice, the Superior Court of Justice, the Divisional Court, and the Court of Appeal for Ontario. As a panel member with the Office of the Children's Lawyer, Szaefer is also called on to represent children directly in high-conflict separations and Children's Aid Society matters, alongside a broader practice covering custody, support, property division, domestic contracts, and adoption. The firm offers a free half hour initial consultation and doesn't limit itself to one approach, working through mediation or litigation depending on what a case calls for.
