McKINNON LEGAL's passion lies in bringing about better solutions for the family litigation clients we serve. We aspire to expand the practice to a multiple-lawyer organization to serve more families going through hard times, coping with and resolving a myriad of issues, including co-parenting, timesharing, the amicable division of assets acquired during the marriage, support, and other ancillary matters related to the family.
