About The Friendly Lawyer

The Friendly Lawyer is the practice of Richard Barrett, a sole practitioner in Mississauga working under a name meant to describe the approach: turning documents and legalese into plain, everyday language before a client signs anything. Barrett earned a Bachelor of Laws from Osgoode Hall Law School in 1986, was called to the Bar in 1988, and set up an independent practice in Mississauga in 1996. The practice today centres on real estate, wills and estate planning and administration, and business and commercial law, along with related work in powers of attorney, trusts, and probate.

The firm runs from a wheelchair accessible home office in the Clarkson area of south Mississauga and serves clients across Mississauga, Oakville, and the wider GTA. Consultations are done face to face, with documents reviewed and explained in full before signing. The practice also keeps a deliberately informal presentation and doesn't stick to a suit and tie, in keeping with the plain spoken approach the name promises.
