John Sheard - Toronto Lawyer

Description

Sheard Law was created to offer a client-focused approach to litigation. We want to help you. Our practical and value based approach sets us apart in an industry that all too often creates conflict rather than resolving it.
Since 2005, our founder, John Sheard, has represented clients on issues ranging from complex property division involving undisclosed assets in multiple jurisdictions to serious fraud and drug offences. This experience led John to understand that every case requires a unique approach tailored to its particular features and challenges. If you require assistance in concluding matrimonial or common law issues, you have arrived at the right place and we invite your call or email. At Sheard Law we believe that it is the client who ultimately must benefit when hiring a lawyer. We never lose sight of that guiding principle. We know that this is a difficult time for you and we are here to help you overcome some of life's most difficult issues. At such, we believe that a lawyer's role is to reduce a client's stress by quickly identifying and pursuing objectives as cost efficiently as possible. Clients hire us to solve problems, not to create them. We are not a firm who will initiate an unnecessary "war" (which everybody is likely to lose) but rather a firm that will work toward solutions in the most practical way possible. Sometimes that results in contested litigation. That said, if objective is to antagonize the other party and/or to "get even", we suggest you contact another firm. Our approach is to assess the evidence available to the parties, identify rights and prospects of success at trial, compare that to the position of the other party, and then determine whether reasonable terms can be agreed. We encourage clients to be reasonable and practical in seeking solutions to their legal issues. This often saves a great deal of time and expense. It avoids unnecessary court proceedings and creates realistic expectations from the beginning. Perhaps most importantly, it guards against wasted time and legal fees.? Together our team aims to deliver excellent value to clients by assigning aspects of the case to the person who can most efficiently carry out a task in accordance with the high standard of professionalism we expect of ourselves.
