Cynthia Lauer, Barrister & Solicitor

About Cynthia Lauer, Barrister & Solicitor

The Family Law Office of Cynthia Lauer is a solo family law practice in Richmond Hill, Ontario, serving clients across Toronto, Richmond Hill, Thornhill, Vaughan, Aurora and Markham. Cynthia Lauer, a Barrister and Solicitor, has practiced family law since 1996 and opened the Richmond Hill office in 2005. The practice covers divorce, separation agreements, child custody and access, child support, spousal support, property division and child protection matters involving the Children's Aid Society.

Rather than pushing every file toward a courtroom, the firm leans on cost-effective alternatives: collaborative family law, independent legal advice for clients working through mediation or signing a separation agreement, and unbundled legal services that let a client pay for a single task, like drafting a document or getting coached through a court appearance, instead of a full retainer. Cynthia Lauer has worked as a collaborative family lawyer for about 20 years. The firm also prepares foreign divorce opinion letters and notarized travel consent letters, and it takes on cases involving domestic violence and mental health issues, when court advocacy becomes necessary.
