BURLINGTON’S LEADING DIVORCE LAWYER
Divorces can be one of the most difficult legal processes any of us will have to go through in our lives. Understanding all the laws and obligations can be an added stress that you simply do not need when dealing with such an emotionally draining situation. At Stephen Durbin and Associates, we aim to take as much stress out of the equation as possible and resolve your case quickly so you can get back to enjoying your life.
Each divorce is different and unique to the people involved in it. Some can end quickly and amicably, while some can drag on for months and put everyone through added distress. A divorce that is taken to court can end up costing tens of thousands of dollars, and even take years to finally come to an end. Our Burlington divorce lawyers are experts in finding creative and outside the box solutions to your divorce issues that other law firms may not even consider. We have a standing policy to keep all of our divorce cases out of the courts as much as possible to save you time, money, and emotional trauma. This is better not only for your wallet, but also for any children that might be involved in the divorce as a length court battle can be deeply distressing to young ones.
SPECIALIZING IN CUSTODY LAW
As mentioned above, divorce proceedings can be a stressful event in any child’s life. While separations usually involve division of assets and property, the most challenging both legally and emotionally is often how to handle custody arrangements. Stephen Durbin and Associates has a team of the best Burlington custody lawyers in the Greater Toronto Area to ensure that your child is protected and receives the best outcome for their future.
Custody battles are often a lose-lose situation for everyone involved. The parents are drained both financially and emotionally from having to argue their case to a judge for months on end, and the children are left confused and upset by seeing their parents fighting. Our standing policy to keep custody discussions outside of the courtroom means we are able to minimise the impact your divorce will have on your children so that everyone can move forward and heal. We are highly experienced in negotiated custody agreements, Ontario family law, and how to ensure your child is well looked after no matter the circumstances.
If you are looking for a Burlington custody lawyer that prioritises fast resolutions and minimal financial and emotional impact, contact Stephen Durbin and Associates today.

What our clients say
really appreciate all the hard work
Stephen and his team helped my parents settle their divorce ammicably after 20 years of separation! I am glad I didn’t have to mediate or take sides – really appreciate all the hard work that was put into my family’s situation and that we can all put it behind us.
THIS CHANGED MY LIFE
I contacted Stephen some time ago with a problem I was having with my business. My landlord wanted to buy me out of my lease. Business was pretty bad anyway so I was almost willing to take a very small amount that he offered $68,000 (all numbers expressed here are in current value dollar amounts). Stephen told me to leave it in his hands and see what he could do. Little by little he negotiated with the landlord, bringing him up first to $360,000, then to $540,000, then to finally about $810,000! I was shocked that this was the result. But he clearly must know what he’s doing. This changed my life for the better and gave me another chance. I’m very thankful. Read more

I NEEDED THIS TEAM
If you are looking for top-quality representation – then Stephen Durbin & Associates is right where you need to be. From day one they gave me peace of mind during a very difficult time in my life. When I had met briefly with Stephen during my consultation, I was told that I could trust them to take care of me with my family law matter. Nazifa Islam and her team – Hope and Chyvonne – were extremely professional, efficient, and completely transparent throughout the entire process. I needed someone attentive. I needed someone to advocate for me and my son. I needed this team – and they exceeded my expectations! They went above and beyond for me and not once made me feel like I was just another “File Number” to them. They were always available when I had questions or concerns, and truly made me feel at ease. Nazifa was brilliant and very knowledgeable; I was lucky to have her by my side. She advised me through my separation agreement, always pursuing not just what I wanted but what was in the best interests of me and my son. The outcome was in my favour. Stephen Durbin & Associates gave me a voice when I felt silenced. Worth every single dime!! I highly recommend.
