Rooted in Nova Scotia. Focused on Your Family's Future.

At CDR Law, we serve families across Nova Scotia with care, clarity, and resolve. We believe family law isn’t just about legal outcomes—it’s about people, futures, and community. Whether you’re in Halifax, the Annapolis Valley, Cape Breton, or anywhere in between, we’re here to understand your goals and guide you with integrity.

Every family is different. That’s why we take the time to listen closely, assess your unique circumstances, and develop practical legal strategies that not only address your situation today but also support your long-term well-being. Your peace of mind matters to us.

We Know When to Settle—and When to Fight.

We believe that the courtroom should be a last resort, not the starting point. Many matters can and should be resolved through negotiation or mediation—but if litigation is necessary, we’re ready. Our lawyers are experienced, strategic, and respected in courtrooms across Nova Scotia.

We balance force with finesse. Whether your case calls for assertive representation or quiet resolution, you’ll have a seasoned advocate in your corner who understands the local courts and community dynamics.

Practical, Personal, and Professional.

We offer more than just legal advice—we deliver tailored service. Our firm works in lean, efficient teams that may include lawyers, paralegals, and students to keep costs reasonable while ensuring your file always receives attention.

We don’t just process cases—we build relationships. When you work with CDR Law, you can expect dignity, discretion, and direction at every stage.

Seeing the Whole Picture.

Family law doesn’t happen in isolation. Whether your case involves property, business assets, immigration status, tax concerns, estate planning, or even criminal charges, we identify the intersections early. Our holistic, cross-disciplinary approach is built to prevent problems before they arise—and to solve them smartly if they do.

We’ll also be honest with you, even when it’s hard. If we think you’re on the wrong path, we’ll say so—because good advice should be candid, not convenient.

Adaptable. Accountable. Atlantic.

Family law is changing—so are families. We stay up-to-date with the latest developments in legislation, court practices, legal technology, and alternative dispute resolution options. Whether you want to mediate, collaborate, or litigate, we’ll walk you through your options and adapt your strategy as the facts evolve.

And we never lose sight of what really matters: your life, your family, your future.

Respected by Courts. Trusted by Clients.

At CDR Law, we are proud to be known in Nova Scotia for being principled, prepared, and pragmatic. Judges and opposing counsel know we show up ready—with facts, law, and solutions. We don’t posture. We don’t waste time. We push for fair and lasting resolutions that serve you best.

If you’re looking for experienced family law professionals who understand Atlantic Canadian values and deliver results with respect—you're in the right place.
