About Lyon Family Law
Lyon Family Law is a family law practice in Kanata, in Ottawa's west end. It's led by lawyer Cecil J. Lyon, who has practiced law since 1989 and focuses exclusively on family law and Appropriate Dispute Resolution (ADR). Rather than defaulting to court, the firm works through collaborative family law, mediation, arbitration, and principled negotiation, treating litigation as a last resort for matters like custody, parenting arrangements, child and spousal support, property division, and separation and cohabitation agreements.
Lyon's background in ADR goes back to training that started in 1986. Lyon is an Honoured Fellow of the Canadian Institute for Conflict Resolution, a rostered mediator with the Ontario Mandatory Mediation Program in Ottawa, and a panel lawyer with the Collaborative Family Law Network. Lyon has also served as a Bencher of the Law Society of Ontario, and has taught alternative dispute resolution at the Bar Admission Course and at the law faculties of the University of Ottawa and Queen's University.
