Family law impacts lives over time. The work we do matters. It is deeply personal requiring a nuanced understanding of each individual’s unique circumstances. This is a responsibility we take seriously. As such, we have created an environment that speaks to trust, providing tireless advocacy and proven expertise to deliver the best outcomes possible. Trust. Direction. Resolution.

Background

Jessica is a partner at Halpern Law Group. Her practice is restricted to family law and she provides counsel on all areas of family law matters, including complex financial issues, domestic contracts, and parenting.

Jessica has conducted motions, trials and appeals at every level of court in Ontario, including the Superior Court of Justice, Ontario Provincial Court, the Divisional Court and the Ontario Court of Appeal. Jessica has also acted as advocate for clients through alternative dispute resolution methods.
