About Wowk Law Professional Corporation
Wowk Law Professional Corporation is a solo family law practice run by Donna Wowk from an office in Toronto's Bloor-Yorkville area. Donna Wowk has practiced family law in Ontario for over 35 years, with trial experience at every level of Ontario court. The practice handles custody, property division, support, child protection, and other legal matters involving children, and it offers unbundled retainers for clients who need help with a single step rather than a whole case.
Before opening the firm, Donna Wowk worked at two small family law firms in Hamilton and Toronto, then at Harper Jaskot LLP until R. John Harper's appointment to the bench, and spent 12 years at Niman Gelgoot and Associates LLP working alongside family law lawyer Harold Niman. Earlier still, Donna Wowk served for 19 years as senior counsel to the Children's Aid Society of the Niagara Region, working with social workers, police, and mental health professionals on child protection files.
The practice favours negotiated and mediated outcomes and turns to litigation only when a settlement isn't possible. Donna Wowk also completed advanced training in parenting coordination and now helps separated parents carry out an existing parenting plan and resolve day to day conflicts outside of court.
