About Eric James Jordan (Jim Jordan)

James Jordan Lawyer is a sole-practitioner law office in downtown Peterborough, Ontario, run by Eric James Jordan, known professionally as Jim Jordan. Jordan earned a Bachelor of Arts in History from Queen's University in 1974, graduating with the prize for highest overall standing, then completed Queen's Law School in 1977 and was called to the Bar of Ontario in 1979. The practice focuses on two areas, family law and wills, and Jordan concentrates on the financial and contractual side of family law: separation agreements, cohabitation and marriage contracts, spousal and child support, and the division of property and equalization payments under Ontario's Family Law Act.

For couples who were never married, the firm also handles unjust enrichment claims, sometimes called constructive trust claims, where a partner argues for a share of property that legally belongs only to the other. Jordan offers negotiation, mediation, collaborative family law, and facilitated settlement meetings as alternatives to a courtroom, alongside traditional litigation. The office at 163 Hunter Street West is a small practice; legal assistant Jill Tilley, a Fleming College paralegal program graduate who has worked in family law since 2015, supports the firm's family law files.
