Diane McInnis practices Collaborative Family Law
|
Diane McInnis was born and raised in Halifax, Nova Scotia where she attended Dalhousie University and obtained her degrees in Science (1985) and Education (1986). After teaching high school science in Ontario, she returned to Dalhousie and obtained her Law Degree in 1990. She articled in downtown Toronto, and was admitted to the Bar in Ontario in 1992. She practiced law in Toronto briefly before leaving in favour of backpacking around the world with her husband, and then in the fall of 1993, settling in Kitchener-Waterloo.
Locally, Diane has practiced family law, criminal law and intellectual property law. However, her passion is family law and helping people through difficult family transitions, and as such, currently restricts her practice to family law issues. Diane practices Collaborative Family Law in which the clients contract to resolve their family law issues without resorting to court. As an Accredited Family Mediator, Diane assists clients mediate disputes and resolve family law conflict, but does not represent either client in the dispute. Diane stays in shape by running, playing tennis and Pilates and, between the demands of family and work, enjoys reading, especially Can-Lit. |
