Here’s What People are Saying About Family Law Now LIVE
“I participated in the November 10th webinar presented by this firm on Caselines, the new system for electronically filing and referring to documents in hearings and trials in Ontario courts. As an older lawyer, learning about electronic innovations doesn’t come naturally to me, but the webinar was a good introduction to this topic and gave me confidence that when I begin using Caselines I will have a basic understanding of how to use it. Thank you to Russ, Michelle and Kaitlyn, for the great job they did with the program presentation and for post-presentation follow up with me on a question I had. And a special thank you to the firm for providing this complementary webinar to the profession.”
