About Flannery Law

Flannery Law is the practice of Timothy C. Flannery, who's been practising law for over 30 years, with civil litigation and family law as the two main fields.

Tim Flannery was born in Detroit to Canadian parents and went to high school in both countries. After graduating from the University of Michigan, Tim earned a law degree at the University of Windsor. As a Kitchener lawyer, Tim's practice included the environmental case in Elmira, where Uniroyal discharged carcinogens.

Flannery Law's office is at 104 Scott Street in Kitchener.

History

Back in 1988, the Unemployment Insurance Act had allowed benefits for adoptive single fathers since 1983 but made no provision for natural fathers. A father refused benefits brought the case to Timothy Flannery, then a Kitchener lawyer, and on January 27 Tim launched an appeal to the Unemployment Insurance Commission arguing that the refusal violated the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. On February 2, after reviewing the case, Employment and Immigration Minister Benoît Bouchard announced in the Commons a plan to introduce a bill ensuring benefits for that father and fathers in similar circumstances.
