Nathens, Siegel provides first-rate legal services at reasonable rates
-- and exemplary client service.

In divorce, you may feel like you're fighting a battle by yourself, overmatched by your spouse and intimidated by high fees and a confusing system. Even worse, you may feel paralyzed and unable to act. We can help. The law firm of Nathens, Siegel LLP is dedicated to family law and divorce issues. We know the process and can explain it to you in a simple, straightforward manner.

Following through and getting results

"We use the most practical and cost-efficient method of getting the best outcome for our clients", says Ken Nathens, founding partner. "We follow through and get results."

"Service means tailoring each case to fit that client's particular needs, and we do that well," Brahm Siegel says. "As a lawyer, you have to know that the same approach doesn't work for all situations. You have to know when to push and when to hold back."

An excellent reputation for solid work

"My husband and I own two large properties. Should I take one of the properties in the divorce settlement?" "What happens to our debts when we divorce?" "My spouse has a substantial pension. Will I get a share of it in the divorce agreement?" "My wife wants to move the kids from Toronto to Vancouver. Can I stop her?" "Who will pay for our kids' private school when we divorce? With the child and spousal support, I don't know how I'll afford the tuition." "Who shouldn't use mediation?"
