Windsor is a city that rewards people who take the time to know it. From the quiet charm of South Walkerville to the changing skyline along the waterfront, it’s a place where history and new builds mix — and real estate deals do too.
As a real estate lawyer, I spend my days behind the scenes helping Windsor buyers and sellers close the biggest transactions of their lives. But unlike some of the big-box law offices out there, I don’t see this as a file factory. Windsor is home, and helping people close homes here means something to me.

🚪 What I Actually Do (That You Might Not See)
If you’re buying or selling property in Windsor, your lawyer is the one:
- Reviewing your Agreement of Purchase and Sale
- Making sure title is clean
- Handling your mortgage registration
- Ensuring funds are transferred correctly on closing day
In short: I make sure your deal doesn’t fall apart at the worst possible time.
But beyond that? I also know this city. I know how long it takes to get paperwork from the city. I know which neighborhoods tend to have legacy title quirks. I know how to explain the legal side in plain language — and I make a point of answering my phone.
🏘️ Local Makes a Difference
Windsor isn’t just a pin on my service map. It’s a place I walk, live, and work. When I say I help Windsor close, I mean that literally. I’ve helped clients buying their first homes in Forest Glade, selling family properties in South Windsor, or moving into new builds out near Banwell.
When you’ve been around the block (literally and legally), you start to notice the patterns. You also learn how to spot problems before they happen — and how to get people to closing day with less stress.
