Brian Galbraith

Brian Galbraith is the owner and founder of Galbraith Family Law Professional Corporation. I guess that is obvious. What you may not know about Brian is that he is the father of five children. The oldest is 21 years older than the youngest. He has four boys followed by one sweet, well-protected little girl.

Experiences and Life Lessons

Brian went through his own divorce. That experience changed everything for him and how we practice family law. Brian knows first-hand how stressful it is to go through a separation and divorce. As a result, our firm focuses on treating our clients the way we would like to be treated if we were in your situation. We treat you with respect and work to resolve your situation in a timely, cost-effective manner. We keep you informed of progress in your case and use technology to effectively advocate for you.

Brian is known in the legal community for his commitment to efficiently practicing family law using technology and streamlining the divorce processes. He is also known for embracing both mediation and Collaborative Practice: two processes that efficiently help clients achieve their goals.

A Member of Our Community

Brian was a founder of The Mediation Centre of Simcoe County and continues to mediate cases. He also helped bring Collaborative Practice to Ontario and continues to be a leader in the Collaborative community.

Brian has conducted numerous courses and workshops in Collaborative Practice at the local, provincial and international level; teaching lawyers, therapists and financial specialists the principles and techniques of this cost-effective process.

Brian’s passion is his family. He is happily married to Nicole, a flight attendant. Nicole helps manage our law firm too. They enjoy travelling regularly, especially to his hometown of Calgary.
