When Bernard Stephaniuk practices law, he wants to make a difference.
Stephaniuk Law Office deals with a diverse range of legal areas such as real-estate, wills and estates, health care directives, powers of attorney, contract and business law. But Stephaniuk's is the only law office in Yorkton to specialize in Collaborative Law.
Collaborative Law can apply to many areas, including estate law and contract law. But it is most widely used in Family Law to settle for example, property issues, child custody issues, spousal maintenance and child support issues.
The Collaborative legal process avoids the adversarial approach to settling disputes. It focuses from the beginning on the settlement of claims. With Collaborative Law, the client is in control: the parties and their lawyers together form a settlement team. Collaborative Law is more positive, less risky, less costly, and less stressful for everyone.
By using the Collaborative legal process in contract law, you avoid bad feelings that arise from disputes. "Probably the contractor is somebody you know," said Stephaniuk. "You don't want to be upset with that person for the next 10 years."
