Frequently asked questions

Can my consultation be virtual?

Yes. Our firm offers remote consultations, both over the phone or video conference. You can also meet in person at our Ottawa office at 150 Metcalfe Street. When you book, you choose the format that works for you. 

How quickly can I get a consultation?

We typically offer consultations within a few business days, but if the matter is urgent, we will prioritize and schedule you the same day. Please flag the urgency at the time of booking.

What can I expect during a consultation?

Our consultation is practical and confidential. Your lawyer will listen to your situation, explain your legal options clearly, and give you a realistic picture of what to expect. You will leave with a clear next step - not just general information. Consultations are available by phone, video, or in person at our Ottawa office.

What happens after the consultation?

After your consultation your lawyer will outline your options and recommended next steps. If you decide to retain us, your consultation fee is credited toward your retainer. There is no obligation to proceed.

Do you handle all types of family law matters?

Yes. Our Ottawa team handles divorce, separation agreements, child custody and access, child support, spousal support, and urgent family law matters. We practice exclusively family law — it is all we do.

What makes you different from other family law firms?

We are one of Ontario's largest dedicated family law firms - which means deeper resources, highly specialized and experienced lawyers, and a full team behind every case. Unlike general practice firms, every lawyer at Shulman & Partners practices exclusively family law. Our Ottawa lawyers are backed by a firm that has handled thousands of family law matters across Ontario since 2005.
