CWM Law

Frequently asked questions

What kinds of law does CWM Law practise?

It's a general practice covering family law, civil litigation, wills and estates, corporate and business law, real estate, and Landlord and Tenant Board matters. It's a small firm, so you tend to deal with the same lawyer and staff throughout a file.

Can CWM Law help me buy or sell a home in the Waterloo area?

Yes. The firm handles real estate purchases, sales, refinances, and title transfers, and works on flat-rate, all-inclusive fees. It keeps working relationships with local realtors, banks, and credit unions to keep deals moving, and can also step in when a transaction runs into a dispute.

Does CWM Law handle divorce and separation agreements?

Yes. Family law is a core area, covering separation agreements, cohabitation and marriage contracts, fertility agreements, and both simple and contested divorces. The firm describes itself as a 2SLGBTQIA+ friendly environment and drafts agreements tailored to modern family situations.

Can the firm prepare my will and powers of attorney?

Yes. Wills and estates work includes primary and secondary wills, powers of attorney, and estate certificates (including small estate certificates), plus help for people administering a loved one's estate. The firm suggests reviewing a will after major life changes to decide whether you need a new will, a codicil, or something else.

Does CWM Law represent landlords or tenants at the Landlord and Tenant Board?

Both. The firm takes landlord and tenant applications, eviction notices, and lease matters, including commercial tenancies, and can carry a case through to a Divisional Court appeal when that's needed.

Where is CWM Law, and how do I get in touch?

The office is at Suite 209, 55 Northfield Drive East, in north Waterloo, and the firm can be reached at 226-474-0124. Getting in touch doesn't make you a client until the firm agrees in writing to act for you.
