Area(s) of Practice: Rose Pellar has been a Family Law Lawyer since 1997. She started her own practice in 1997 in Toronto and has since had the privilege of practicing as an Associate Lawyer with Oatley, Purser’s Family Law Division in Barrie , with McGee & Fryer in Unionville and with Galbraith Family Law in Barrie. On October 1, 2006 she opened up her own firm of Pellar Family Law in Wasaga Beach.
Rose Pellar understands very well the toll separation takes on families, particularly the children. Consequently, her goal is to help her clients achieve resolution while avoiding the detrimental effects of lengthy court battles and high legal fees.
Rose Pellar recommends the collaborative process in which the parties and their lawyers agree not to threaten or take court action. The parties are then able to obtain an agreement in a respectful manner, in usually a shorter amount of time and therefore usually with less legal costs.
Rose Pellar handles cases which use the Collaborative Process, and negotiated settlements which culminate in signed separation agreements.

Area(s) of Practice: Roxanne C. Shank has considerable experience assisting couples in achieving family law settlements via court proceedings as well as by way of negotiated agreements.
Roxanne understands that every family is unique and is strongly committed to advocating for her clients to achieve individualized solutions that meet the needs of the parties in family law disputes as well as those of children who are affected by the consequences of a separation.
Roxanne is a strong proponent of the collaborative process in instances where both parties are committed to negotiating towards an agreement that is in both parties’ best interests. Many individuals prefer a collaborative family law solution as resorting to litigation can often be exhaustive of the time, money and energy of all persons involved.
