Lisa Feldstein Law Office Professional Corporation.
Lisa Feldstein Law Office Professional Corporation is a law firm that focuses on serving family members as they interact with the health care system as caregivers, decision-makers and advocates. We call our niche Family Health Law™. We also provide select services to patients, institutional clients and clinicians. We draft and review agreements, provide legal advice, and represent clients at legal tribunals.
Our primary mission is to serve the family – people trying to build families, people trying to support family members, and people trying to manage health-related legal issues that have arisen in their family. Many interactions with the health care system are stressful and, for some people, these experiences represent the worst moments in a person’s life.
Our goal is to take away the worrying with respect to the law. We explain the law and your options in plain English. We identify possible solutions and help you to achieve them. And we recognize that giving good and practical legal advice means more than knowing the law: we also take into account the clinical, ethical and relationship issues at play in every matter.
We are accessible, compassionate and persistent. We understand that health matters take our clients away from work. We therefore offer flexible office hours and leverage technology to ensure we can serve you in the most convenient way.
While our practice is focused on the law of Ontario, Canada, we have clients all over the world. Please click here to learn more about our Services and here to learn more about how we serve clients outside the Greater Toronto Area.
