Response from the owner:Thank you very much, Terry Capsey. We really appreciate your nice compliments about Susanna Crichlow. One of the best things about being a divorce lawyer is that we get to help good people who are going through a separation or divorce, negotiation custody and access arrangements or addressing child support and spousal support claims. We know there are many divorce lawyers in Oshawa. And we can’t tell you how happy we are that you provided us with such valuable feedback. Here is some more information from our Associate Lawyer, Susanna Crichlow: I am an associate lawyer at Russell Alexander Collaborative Family Lawyers, fully trained in Collaborative Practice, and able to leverage 7+ years of Family Law practice (including Motions Court, Mediation, Trial preparation and Settlement negotiations) in achieving favourable outcomes for my clients. Detail-oriented and highly motivated, I approach client consultations with a compassionate, but analytical mindset, and endeavor to provide my clients with the very best representation possible. Early in my career, I interned at Fasken Martineau, a leading Bay Street law firm (2010-2011), and was called to the Ontario Bar in September, 2012. I then practiced Family, Wills and Estates Law at a firm in Pickering, before eventually launching my own Family Law practice (SMC Law) in 2014. Having successfully managed my own practice for over 5 years, I joined Russell Alexander in November, 2019. I hold a Bachelor of Laws Degree from the University of the West Indies (2006), a post graduate Legal Education Certificate from the Hugh Wooding Law School, Trinidad (2008), and I also graduated from the University of Toronto’s Internationally Trained Lawyer’s Program (2011). I am a member of the Durham Region Law Association, the Law Society of Ontario, Association of Family and Conciliation Courts (Ontario Chapter), and the Christian Legal Fellowship. I was born and raised in the Caribbean nation of Trinidad and Tobago, where I developed a passion for law at a young age, interestingly, by watching the Canadian legal drama, Street Legal! Since migrating to Canada, I have pursued my professional and personal life with equal fervor, and together with my husband and young family, I enjoy tickle fights and games of hide and seek, as well as curling up on the couch for a good movie. I am also passionate about supporting local and international charities and humanitarian aid organizations, including World Vision International, ERDO, and The Salvation Army. If you would like to have a consultation with one of our team members please give us a call: (289) 799-3866.
