“The truth is that our finest moments are most likely to occur when we are feeling deeply uncomfortable, unhappy or unfulfilled. For it is only in such moments, propelled by our discomfort, that we are likely to step out of our ruts and start searching for different ways or truer answers.” M. Scott Peck
About Cori L. McGuire
Barrister, Solicitor, Notary, Collaborative Family Lawyer, Mediator
Family law is both my passion and my purpose; I put my heart and soul into my work. My clients receive clearly explained legal information, advice and options to settle their family law conflicts with as little cost and stress for them as possible. My clients also benefit from my heart-centered practice style discussed under Practice Style.
Since January 1999, I have been a sole practitioner in family law. I continually upgrade my education and I have acted for several years as co-chair of the family law subsection, providing a forum for education to other family lawyers throughout the Okanagan. I have twice represented BC family lawyers at the National Family Section level. My commitment to family law calls me to assist economically disadvantaged legal aid clients and I am part of the Duty Counsel program, giving limited free advice at the courthouse. My ability to appreciate the challenges my clients face comes from having had rich life experience as a wife, mother, stepmother, and through my own divorce.
Additionally, I pride myself on my advocacy skills in and out of the courtroom and my skill in drafting enforceable marriage, cohabitation and separation agreements.
