MY PRACTICE AREAS



Family Law

The end of a marriage or common law relationship is a stressful and difficult time. Jessica can help you to understand your rights and responsibilities, and to achieve a fair and reasonable resolution of the issues.



Mediation

Mediation allows parties to paint their own picture of separation. It’s important to be supported
through this process. Jessica has taken part in hundreds of mediations, both through the court system
and outside of it.



Provincial Court Litigation

The Provincial Court offers legal options with lower cost and simpler processes. Jessica has handled family cases in Provincial Court ranging from guardianship and parenting time to Protection Orders and child maintenance.



Supreme Court Litigation

The Supreme Court of British Columbia is able to service more complex cases, including property and divorce. Jessica has experience taking family cases from initial application through to trial in the Supreme Court.



Separation Agreements

Often, the issues arising from the end of a relationship can be resolved with an agreement. Jessica can advise you regarding your rights, as well as negotiate and draft a separation agreement.



Child Protection

When a child is placed in foster care, parents are often left feeling lost, unaware of their options. Jessica has helped many parents work towards a return of their children into their care, and can do the same for you.



Adoptions

Adoption of a child is a joyous time. Jessica can assist prospective adoptive parents – including grandparent and step-parent adoption – even in situations where litigation is required to complete the adoption.



Marriage Agreements

All the love in the world doesn’t mean you shouldn’t take steps to get on the same page. Jessica can help you to feel confident and secure as you move forward into your life with your future spouse.

WHAT SAY MY CLIENTS:

Hiring Jessica was by far the first important decision I made for my case.
     Hiring Jessica was by far the first important decision I made for my case. She was professional from the start and very friendly. Her knowledge about the laws surrounding my case was exceptional and helped me to make many decisions and stand my ground with a lot of concerns that arose with the other party. She was always on time, always gave me attention, and never once made me feel like I was being 'too much' when I called and emailed all my questions. She's a super awesome lawyer and a big part of why I have my little girl with me today!

Jessica embraces what a family law lawyer should be.
     Jessica embraces what a family law lawyer should be: she is approachable, analytical, well-spoken and works diligently to represent her clients and their children. My file was quite complicated, but she managed it effectively, and dealt with difficult situations with tact and professionalism. I felt understood by her, which I appreciated, particularly during some emotional times with a difficult ex-spouse. She communicates honestly; she manages her client's funds ethically; and she is a respected member of the legal community.
A Client

Whenever I am having a peaceful moment, I have her to thank.
     Jessica did a great and professional job for me, and I don’t know how I could have managed without her support and guidance. Whenever I am having a peaceful moment, I have her to thank. I’ve moved on in life, finished my career and more important have met a wonderful caring man (in the time of my troubles I never wanted to see another man as long as I lived!). All this is because that legal and financial circle of my life closed in a successful manner. I will always be thankful.
A Client

Jessica Steiner is a wonderful lawyer.
     Jessica Steiner is a wonderful lawyer. She provided me with prompt legal advice. She knows the law well and can help figure out the best legal option available for all the parties involved. She is dedicated and took the time to really listen to my legal matter. I recommended her to anyone that is looking for legal advice.
A Client

She is always easy to get ahold of, responds quickly and listens intently.
     Throughout most of 2017 I had retained and hired Jessica Steiner as my legal counsel, through very difficult and trying times for myself. As my legal representative, she offered excellent advice, support and guidance. She is always easy to get ahold of, responds quickly and listens intently. Jessica has a great personality and friendly disposition, yet has strong determination when needed. I would not hesitate at all in recommending her abilities as a law professional and strong supporter

Our first meeting was so comfortable and very informative.
     Thank you Jessica for your help in my divorce process. When I came to you, I was extremely stressed. I had just let my first lawyer go and felt distrustful and concerned. Our first meeting was so comfortable and very informative. I found you to be very forthcoming and honest with me. Your rates were very fair and I especially appreciate that some office costs were less than other lawyers might charge. I also greatly appreciate your advice regarding mediation. You have given me balanced and quality advice throughout the whole process and I am so glad I came to you. If I ever need legal help or advice, I know I will come to you first and will continue to refer others to you as well.
