About Erika V. Chan Law

Erika V. Chan Law is a solo family law practice based in Toronto, run by lawyer Erika Chan, who also prepares wills and estate plans for clients going through separation or other life transitions. The firm handles divorce, parenting time and decision making disputes, spousal support, property division, marriage contracts, cohabitation agreements, and restraining orders, and represents clients in both the Ontario Court of Justice and the Superior Court of Justice across the Greater Toronto Area and Simcoe County. The stated approach is settlement focused: 'I truly believe that a settlement focused approach serves clients' holistic well-being,' though the firm also takes on contested hearings when a case can't be resolved out of court.

Erika Chan also represents parents and caregivers in child protection matters involving the Children's Aid Society, from initial investigations through voluntary and temporary care agreements and protection court applications, with a stated focus on marginalized families facing state intervention. Erika Chan is a second generation immigrant settler who grew up on the traditional territories of the Stó:lō, Semá:th, and Mathxwí peoples and relocated to Toronto in 2015. Erika Chan serves as duty counsel for Legal Aid Ontario, volunteers with the 519 Legal Clinic, and belongs to the Family Law Association and the Law Union of Ontario.
