Droit de la famille et de la jeunesse

Expertise in
family law can be
THE BEST AVENUE

Obtaining the services of a lawyer specialized in family and youth law can be a vital asset when going through a separation, divorce, adoption, child custody situation, or DYP intervention.

Lafortune Avocats brings together qualified professionals practicing exclusively in family and youth law as litigation lawyers. Additionally, Me Lafortune regularly represents children in Superior Court.

WHAT FAMILY AND
YOUTH LAW CAN SOLVE

Meeting with a lawyer specializing in family law does not necessarily mean that you will need to go to trial. Quite the opposite, in fact. It is more a matter of taking the necessary steps to gather all relevant information and tools in order to face the situation with full knowledge of the facts. Since we also have expertise in family mediation, we employ an alternative approach to conflict resolution; our objective is to find an agreement between all relevant parties in order to avoid the stress and torment that a trial can cause.
