About Frodis Family Law
Frodis Family Law is a small firm in Toronto that handles family law exclusively, covering separation, divorce, child custody, spousal and child support, property division, and domestic contracts. Founder Dani Frodis opened the firm in 1998 after working as an associate at Epstein Cole, another Toronto family law firm. The practice has grown to a team of nine lawyers, and it offers collaborative law, mediation, and mediation/arbitration as alternatives to a full court process.
Dani Frodis earned a Bachelor of Science in psychology from the University of Toronto in 1988, a law degree from the University of Western Ontario in 1991, and was called to the bar in Ontario in 1993. Frodis teaches in the Law Society of Ontario's Bar Admission Course, serves as a Dispute Resolution Officer at the Ontario Superior Court of Justice in Toronto and Newmarket, and has authored papers published by the Canadian Bar Association and the Law Society of Ontario.

The firm names six values it says shape how it works with clients: harmony among its lawyers, tenacity in advocacy, agility in problem solving, straightforward and honest communication, respect for clients, and a focus on efficient resolutions rather than drawn out disputes.
