The neighbourhood

Horra Family Law's main office sits in a multi-tenant office building at 500 Hood Road in Markham, with direct access to Highway 407 and Highway 404 and connections to GO Transit's Milliken station and local TTC and York Region Transit routes. That kind of access matters for a firm that lists Markham, Mississauga, Waterloo, Guelph, and Toronto as service areas: a client driving in from outside Markham, or arriving by transit, doesn't have to navigate deep into the city core to reach an appointment.

The Mississauga location, at 600 Matheson Blvd W, is a serviced office suite in the Heartland Town Centre district, close to Highway 401 and about 12 to 15 minutes from Toronto Pearson International Airport by car. Horra Family Law keeps this office, along with its Waterloo and Guelph locations, on an appointment-only basis rather than staffing them full time, so a client further from Markham can still meet a lawyer close to home.

Frequently asked questions

What areas of family law does Horra Family Law handle?
Horra Family Law handles separation and divorce, custody and access, child and spousal support, property division, marriage contracts and cohabitation agreements, and adoption. The firm doesn't practice outside family law.
I want to separate from my partner in Markham. Can the firm help me choose between mediation and going to court?
Horra Family Law offers mediation, collaborative family law, and litigation for a separation, and it walks a client through what each process involves before they decide. Both partners are trained in collaborative law, so a couple who wants to avoid court has that option from the start.
My partner and I aren't married. Can Horra Family Law draft a cohabitation agreement for us?
Horra Family Law drafts cohabitation agreements for unmarried couples in Ontario, covering property, financial obligations, and what happens if the relationship ends. The firm requires full financial disclosure from both partners and independent legal advice for each side before anyone signs.
We're adopting a child in Ontario. Does the firm handle adoption cases?
Horra Family Law helps families through Ontario adoptions, including agency requirements, consent issues, and how a past separation agreement or court order can affect a new adoption. The firm recommends contacting a lawyer early in the process to avoid delays.
If I live in Mississauga, Waterloo, or Guelph, do I have to travel to Markham for every meeting?
Horra Family Law's main office is in Markham, but the firm also keeps appointment-only offices in Mississauga, Waterloo, and Guelph, so clients in those areas can meet a lawyer closer to home.
Does anyone at Horra Family Law speak languages other than English?
Horra Family Law's associate lawyers speak Cantonese, Tagalog, French, and Punjabi in addition to English, so a client can often be matched with someone who speaks their first language.
