Dawn E. Wilcox

My name is Dawn Wilcox and I am a lawyer and mediator. I work primarily with clients experiencing separation or divorce. I am committed to empowering my clients to take an active role in resolving their legal issues.  

Early in my career as a family law lawyer, I realized the traditional Court based method of resolving relationship breakdown was intimidating, invasive and inefficient. As a result, I began considering Court a last resort, and instead put my efforts into building a settlement focused approach to the problems facing clients navigating separation and divorce.  

This approach has helped me keep clients at the centre of my practice. No one has a better understanding of a particular situation than the people living it. I work hard to help my clients use that understanding to address their legal issues and plan for their future. 

I offer settlement focused, traditional legal services for individuals navigating separation or divorce, and I offer mediation services to pairs of former partners who are interested in working directly with each other as they transition through the dissolution of their relationship. I understand that one of the first challenges facing many clients on this journey is knowing what kind of services, and what kind of lawyer, they want to work with. If you would like to talk to me about what your options are or what working together might look like, please send me an email, and I will be happy to help.
