Elizabeth Mourao has built an amazing track record of accomplishment in Family Law and the Toronto legal community since being called to the bar in 2004.
A recipient of The Ontario People’s Choice Award which named her Lawyer of the Year recently, Elizabeth – who speaks and writes fluent Portuguese – has been interviewed on OMNI television newscasts and in ethnic print media discussing topical family law matters. She also received awards of excellence for her contributions as a columnist at the Portuguese Sun newspaper when she was writing regularly for the paper.
But probably of greater interest to her clients is Elizabeth’s ability to balance the importance of handling family law matters in a sensitive, understanding manner while remaining attuned to representing clients in court when doing so becomes appropriate and necessary.
“I relate to the intensity of what my clients are going through,” Elizabeth observes, “so it’s my job to hear their pain yet also guide them calmly through the process so I can help them achieve what’s truly best for them and their children.”
Elizabeth’s professional accomplishments are as impressive as her work for clients and in the community.
Elizabeth is a member of the Family Law Executive for the Ontario Bar Association and an editor of the Family Law Section newsletter “Matrimonial Affairs”. She is also an editor of the OBA’s quarterly magazine “Briefly Speaking”. Elizabeth has authored and co-authored a number of landmark articles in the field, most notably Grandparents, Parents, and Kids: Are We In Changing Times? Elizabeth co-authored the paper with the firm’s Joel Miller and presented it at the prestigious National Family Law Conference.
Elizabeth is a graduate of the University of Windsor law school.
