I graduated from Dalhousie University with an Honours Bachelor of Commerce degree in 1972 and a Bachelor of Law degree in 1975. I have been practicing law in Ottawa since 1977 with 75% of my practice being family law. I am conveniently located in Bells Corners which serves all of Ottawa and communities west of Ottawa. I have been active in  writing for and teaching family law to the public, law students and lawyers and creating innovative ways to deliver family law legal services. I have had a web site www.thepascoedifference.com since 1995 on which you can learn more about me and family law. You can also obtain many articles I have written about family law and wills, powers of attorney and the administration of estates at my web site

I have always believed "the process" of practicing family law was just as important an element of practice as was providing legal advice and
advocating a client's case. I am therefore very excited about being able to provide the collaborative law process to clients when it is appropriate to do so.  I have seen too many times in my 25 years of practicing family law unfair results and far too costly processes,  both financially and emotionally  when done in the traditional manners of lawyer to lawyer negotiations, court proceedings and even mediation. I believe the collaborative law process can be a better method  to resolve the many legal, financial and emotional issues that occur on marriage breakdown.
