About Henderson Family Law

Henderson Family Law is a family law firm in Thunder Bay, Ontario, with its office on Cumberland Street North in the city's downtown core. The firm describes itself as the only multi-lawyer firm in northwestern Ontario that focuses on family law, and its lawyers handle divorce, parenting arrangements, child and spousal support, property division, separation agreements, child protection matters, and wills and powers of attorney for clients across the region. Timothy J. Henderson leads the firm, earning a B.A. from Carleton University in 1991 and an LL.B. from the University of Manitoba in 1995 before being called to the Ontario bar in 1997, and has practised family law in Thunder Bay for more than 20 years.

The firm's other lawyers include Lauren M. Conti, called to the Ontario bar in 2010 and a panel member with the Office of the Children's Lawyer, and Timothy Matthews, called in 2009, who joined Henderson Family Law in 2016 and holds a certificate in Aboriginal Canadian relations from Confederation College. Both represent children directly in some cases through the Office of the Children's Lawyer. Alongside court proceedings, the firm offers mediation and collaborative family law as ways to resolve disputes without a full trial.
