About Kadoory Cho Family Law

Kadoory Cho Family Law is a family law practice based in Vaughan, Ontario, with additional offices in Mississauga and in Toronto's North York area. The firm's two lawyers, Lisa Kadoory and Julie Cho, practice in association rather than as a formal partnership and are supported by managing senior law clerk Michelle Schiralli. The practice is limited to family law, and the team works through separation agreements, mediation, collaborative practice, arbitration, and litigation, covering custody and access, child and spousal support, and property division, including the breakdown of common law relationships.

Kadoory earned a law degree from Osgoode Hall Law School, was called to the Ontario bar in 2002, and has appeared before the Divisional Court and the Court of Appeal for Ontario. Cho is a lawyer and Accredited Family Mediator (AccFM) and a trained Voice of Child Report practitioner, preparing reports that bring a child's views into parenting disputes under the Divorce Act and the Children's Law Reform Act. Both lawyers are collaboratively trained, and the firm offers limited scope and unbundled services for clients who want to manage part of their own case rather than pay for full representation.
