Saucier Law Office

About Saucier Law Office

Saucier Law Office is a family law practice based in Brighton, Ontario, in Northumberland County. Bobbi-Jo Saucier opened the firm in January 2020 after more than 13 years of family law experience in the area, and the office still operates as a small, appointment-only practice on Park Street. Saucier holds a Juris Doctor from the University of Ottawa, a master's degree in criminology from the University of Toronto, and an undergraduate degree from York University's Glendon College. Saucier's legal career began in 2012 as legal counsel for the Royal Canadian Mounted Police in Ottawa, before a move into family law practice in Northumberland County.

The firm handles the full range of family law matters, including divorce, separation agreements, cohabitation and marriage contracts, custody and parenting arrangements, child and spousal support, and property division. It also assists parents dealing with the Children's Aid Society, drawing on experience from both the parent and agency sides of child protection files, and prepares wills and powers of attorney. The office favours negotiation and alternative dispute resolution where it can, while keeping the capacity to go to court when a matter requires it. It accepts a limited number of legal aid certificates, including two hour domestic violence certificates, and offers unbundled legal services for clients who need help with a specific step rather than a full retainer.
