Elizabeth Vaz, Divorce and separation Attorney on Aug 16, 2019
Relationship: Worked together on matter

I have had the privilege of working with Catherine Canade on certain divorce matters and have always found her to be knowledgeable, responsive, professional and compassionate. She is that attorney who goes the extra mile to ensure that her clients are fully informed throughout the process, while safeguarding them legally. She also provides resources to ensure each client is protected financially and emotionally. She is flexible and creative, often thinking outside the box and she brings a wealth of experience and insight to each case she is working on. Catherine is a stellar example of how an attorney should provide legal guidance to their clients. I wholeheartedly endorse Catherine as an attorney/mediator.
