About Arnoldi Law
Arnoldi Law is a solo family law practice in downtown Kitchener, Ontario, run by Elizabeth H.E. Arnoldi. The firm handles the full range of family matters: marriage contracts and cohabitation agreements, separation agreements, divorce, and contested court proceedings involving custody and access, child and spousal support, and division of property. Work ranges from agreements negotiated between the parties to contested applications argued in the Ontario Court of Justice and the Superior Court of Justice, so a matter can settle by agreement or go to a hearing when it needs to.
Elizabeth H.E. Arnoldi holds a Bachelor of Arts (Honours) from Queen's University, earned in 1988, and a law degree from Osgoode Hall Law School, earned in 1991. The practice opened in Toronto in 1994 and moved to Kitchener in 2001, so family law has been the focus for about three decades. It's a small office where a law clerk works the files alongside the lawyer, which shows up in the firm's published rates, with clerk time billed at a lower rate than lawyer time. The firm isn't currently taking Legal Aid or Unifor legal plan clients.

Who handles what
The neighbourhood
The office is on the third floor of 7 Duke Street West, a building originally known as The Record Building when it opened in 1929, at the corner of Duke Street West and Queen Street North in the downtown Kitchener core. The address suits a practice that goes to court: the Kitchener courthouse is a short walk away, along with City Hall and Carl Zehr Square. The ION light rail line runs close by, so clients travelling in from Waterloo or elsewhere in the region can reach the office without wrestling with downtown parking.
