About Stow Wilson Law

Stow Wilson Law is a sole-practitioner family law firm in downtown Ottawa, run by Winifred Stow-Wilson, with an office on Metcalfe Street. The firm handles separation and divorce, parenting time and decision-making, child and spousal support, and division of property, along with domestic contracts such as cohabitation, marriage, and separation agreements. Limited scope services are available for clients who don't want full representation but do want targeted advice, document review, or court preparation help on part of a case. Stow Wilson Law also provides notary services, including document notarization, affidavits and statutory declarations, and certified true copies.

Stow-Wilson was called to the Nigerian Bar in 2011, after a master's degree in oil and gas law from the University of Dundee, and began a legal career as a state prosecutor before moving into family law practice in Canada. The firm offers a free initial consultation and keeps a resources page pointing clients toward free or reduced-cost help, including Legal Aid Ontario, the Law Society of Ontario's lawyer referral service, JusticeNet, Pro Bono Ontario, and Cliquez Justice for French-speaking clients. Its blog covers family law and notary topics for clients across Ottawa, including Orleans, Nepean, and Gloucester.
