Blake Family Law, Ottawa, ON

Blake Lyngseth was born and raised in Ottawa, Ontario. He has an extensive academic background: a law degree from Queens University; degrees in English Literature and Political Science from the University of Toronto; a Masters degree in Piano Performance; and a teaching degree from McGill University. Blake advocates a non-adversarial approach to family law when possible. Unlike other areas of law, family law most often results in significant emotional and financial losses for both parties. The court process, adversarial by nature, will often only serve to exacerbate enmity between separating spouses, and therefore is to be avoided if possible. He recognizes, however, that recourse to the court system is sometimes unavoidable.
