Conflict is inevitable. Staying stuck in it is optional.

STEP Mediation is a premier Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) firm based in Ontario, specializing in family, civil, and elder mediation. We provide a structured, neutral environment where individuals and organizations can resolve disputes outside of the adversarial court system.

The STEP Advantage:
Our firm is led by a unique hybrid of legal and psychological expertise. By integrating over 30 years of clinical and legal experience, we manage the "emotional gridlock" that typically stalls negotiations. This allows us to deliver durable, legally-informed settlements in even the most high-conflict cases.

Our Specialized Services:

    Family Mediation: Comprehensive support for divorce and separation, including property division, child & spousal support, and co-parenting agreements.

    Civil Mediation: Resolving non-criminal legal disputes efficiently to avoid the high costs and timelines of litigation.

    Elder Services: Facilitating sensitive conversations around estate planning, caregiving, and transitions for aging family members.

    Prenuptial & Postnuptial Agreements: Helping couples build—and protect—strong foundations for their future.

    Bilingual Support: Full services available in multiple languages to support Ontario’s diverse population.

Why Choose Mediation?
Mediation offers a cost-effective, private, and faster alternative to court. At STEP, we empower our clients to stay in control of their own decisions rather than leaving their future in the hands of a judge.

Whether you are navigating a complex separation, an estate dispute, or a civil matter, we provide the expert guidance needed to take the next step with confidence.
