Jessica Dileo

Associate Lawyer

I have always known Family Law was where I wished to practice. Since beginning law school, completing my articles, and being called to the Bar, I have dedicated myself to family law as my sole area of practice.

I completed my law degree and received my JD from Western Law in 2024. I then completed my Articles at an exclusively family law firm in Downtown Toronto, and after passing the Bar Exams, I was called to the Ontario Bar in 2025.

My passion for Family Law is what led me to so many opportunities and experiences throughout my studies at Western Law. I spent extensive time as a Research Assistant exploring the many intricacies of family dynamics in situations of family violence, the increasing use of domestic contracts, and child support reform. My contributions to published research projects, combined with my hands-on experience supporting survivors of family violence through Western’s Family Law Clinic, have equipped me with a deep understanding of both the practical and theoretical aspects of family law, and a strong commitment to advocating for clients.

I believe that the root of family law advocacy is trust, compassion, and integrity. I ensure I respect these cornerstones of Family Law through taking the time to truly listen to each of my clients, ensuring that every voice is heard and every concern is valued.

I make it a priority to ensure there is always open and transparent communication, as well as a deep sense of empathy. I prioritize clear communication by keeping each client apprised of the next steps in their file, minimizing surprises along the way. I strive to create a safe, supportive environment where clients feel heard and empowered to make informed choices. My goal is to guide each client with confidence and care, even through the most complex and challenging circumstances.

I am excited to be back in London, Ontario and contributing to Russell Alexander’s excellent team of dedicated professionals, and working with clients in Southwest Ontario.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending my time outdoors golfing, hiking, and travelling with my husband and our corgi, Beanie.
