As an articling student, Melissa spent her time working with all our practice areas including insurance, family and condominium. She takes an active role on preparation of files and conducts initial reviews of the materials and searches for opportunities that may influence the strategy used to resolve the dispute. Melissa also conducts legal research and analysis and prepares drafts of agreements, orders, and briefs and appears in Court on behalf of clients.

Melissa has a keen interest in family law. With a young family of her own, Melissa understands the complex family dynamics that often accompany family files. This makes her uniquely prepared to support clients to resolve family law issues.

Before going to law school, Melissa worked in the insurance sector as a claims handler. That experience has honed her questioning skills, while her undergraduate degree in sociology enhances her ability to understand people and the choices they make without jumping to any conclusions.

Great experience working with Abram. Professional and thoughtful with good insights.
Relaxed and to the point team. Helped me when I panicked to stay calm and then walked me through things. Really friendly and always available
Very satisfied with the services provided by the lawyers at SVR Lawyers! It was a long and convoluted divorce process, but Abram Averbach, Cindy Lee and their assistants have helped me to navigate through it and finalize it. I highly recommend them!
