DeGroot Law

About DeGroot Law

DeGroot Law is a Toronto based solo practice that handles family law exclusively, run by lawyer Mark DeGroot. Mark started out at a large national law firm working mainly on family law files, then moved to a small family law firm in downtown Toronto to build experience with both straightforward separations and high conflict cases. That work included hearings at every level of Ontario's court system: the Ontario Court of Justice, the Superior Court of Justice, and the Court of Appeal for Ontario.

The practice covers divorce, custody and access, spousal and child support, property division, separation agreements, and variations of existing court orders. Rather than treating court as the only option, Mark works through whichever process fits the file, negotiation, mediation, arbitration, or litigation. The practice also offers more than one way to work together: a full retainer where Mark manages the matter from start to finish, a limited scope or unbundled arrangement for clients who are otherwise representing themselves, a stand alone consultation with no obligation to retain further services, and a review of a separation agreement someone else has already drafted.
