Hello, bonjour and welcome to my ‘Blog’, in which I will a) expand on information I have already provided in other parts of my website, b) provide reviews/synopses of relatively new cases or new developments in family and estate law, and c) expound eloquently on the deficiencies in our legal system (i.e. rant).

Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any feedback and/or questions about the contents of my blog by sending me a message here.
