Christine is our Family Law Group Coordinator. If you’re looking to contact one of our lawyers for a consultation, second opinion, or to act for you in a family law matter, she’s the person to call. She’ll speak with you and help connect you to the lawyer most appropriate for your needs. She joined Ricketts, Harris LLP in May, 2011, bringing 15 years of practical family law clerk experience to our firm and clients.
Christine’s role is to gather information regarding a client’s personal and financial situation, assist clients in the completion of financial documents, prepare the first draft of court documents, correspondence and agreements, schedule court appearances, and the general organization of documents for the lawyer preparing to go to court or meetings. Christine is often more accessible than the lawyer and can be very helpful in answering questions regarding the family law process, including court procedure, scheduling meetings, obtaining information to pass along to the lawyer and just generally being available to listen if required.
Christine is extremely intuitive to the unique emotional needs of family law clients. She is sympathetic and understanding about how difficult the process of separation and divorce can be. She will attempt to assist clients in working through the process with as little stress as possible.
She is very familiar with all rules and legislation relating to family law and proficient in the use of the DIVORCEmate software. She attends several family law seminars each year to stay on top of the latest developments in the law. Christine is a regular member of the weekly family law group meetings the firm holds to review our files and developments in the field of family law.
Christine is an associate member of the Institute of Law Clerks of Ontario.
Christine is very involved in her community and volunteer work, as well as enjoying activities with her children and family.
