About Gold Family Law

Clients rate this firm highly on Google.

Gold Family Law is a family law firm with offices in Brampton and in Mississauga's Port Credit neighbourhood. The firm was known as Wood Gold LLP until partner Frances Wood was appointed a judge of the Superior Court of Justice, Family Court, in January 2025, at which point the practice became Gold Family Law under Jennifer Gold, its principal lawyer.

The firm practices family law only, handling separation agreements, court proceedings, cohabitation agreements and marriage contracts, mediation and arbitration, and collaborative family law, along with related wills and powers of attorney work. Several of its lawyers bring credentials from outside Ontario: one was called to the Alberta bar before moving into Ontario family law practice, another is admitted to the bar in both Illinois and Ontario, and a third trained in the United Kingdom before joining the firm. Together the team offers services in French, Greek, Spanish, Portuguese and Urdu in addition to English.

The neighbourhood

The Brampton office sits at 21 Queen Street East, at the heart of the city's historic downtown. Brampton City Hall, the Algoma University campus, and the Rose performing arts venue are all close by.

The Mississauga office, at 272 Lakeshore Road East, is in Port Credit, a lakeside community at the mouth of the Credit River often called the Village on the Lake. Its original core is a designated heritage conservation district, a legacy of the area's transition from a nineteenth century shipping and industrial hub into the residential and recreational waterfront village it is today.
