“My brother and I hired Charles and his team over a property dispute after our mother’s death. Charles and his team were very thorough and gave us great guidance throughout the entire process. In the end we got a very good outcome via the mediation process, which Charles had always recommended over going to court as he prioritizes cost efficiency for his clients. I would recommend Charles to anyone who needs an estate litigator.”

Estate Mediation
Estate mediation is an important part of the estate litigation process in Ontario. Most lawsuits in Ontario settle well in advance of trial. Many people believe that appearing in Court and having a verdict from a Judge is the desired outcome when a lawsuit is commenced.
However, the estate litigation process can be very lengthy and expensive. It can take many years of emotional and financial costs to litigate a matter all the way to trial.
In addition to his litigation practice, Charles has extensive experience acting as a mediator in various estate disputes.
Most estate disputes can be resolved well in advance of trial as long as the parties involved are willing to be reasonable. Even if you believe that you should take your case all the way to trial, there are many situations where estate mediation provides a more cost-efficient solution to your dispute.
