Work Experience
Except for a period of 3 years when I was a corporate in-house counsel, I have been in private practice.

During the first three years of practice, I quickly stopped practicing Litigation, Family and Criminal Law and focused on Real Estate, Corporate and Wills & Estates Law. Since 1986 these have since been my primary areas of practice.  As a result Gryphon Law Chambers Professional Corporation is currently restricted to the areas of :

• Real Estate
• Wills & Estates

My inital practice was located in the Hamilton area. Since 1989 my area of practice has been within the Halton Region, with greater focus on Burlington and Milton. However, we are not restricted to these areas.

I have been in my new office since April 2007.
