About Cecil:

Cecil has been helping people resolve their disputes since he started to practice law in 1989. Cecil's practice focuses on Appropriate Dispute Resolution (ADR). Stepping outside the traditional adversarial box whenever possible, Cecil employs a problem-solving approach (as distinct from and opposed to a problem-making approach) to the practice of law.

In addition to being a member of Family Mediation Canada Cecil is a long time columnist with the Lawyers Weekly, a member of the Collaborative Family Law Network and a panel lawyer. He is also a Roster Mediator with the Ontario Mandatory Mediation Program at Ottawa.
