“In February 2009, I was laid off and my life started rapidly spinning out of control…When my retainer was up, basically my lawyer said I was too, so I issued her a release of her duties in the hopes of representing myself, I had no choice…I immediately set up a consultation with Mr. Taylor, he was my last hope.

I was traumatized when I visited with Mr. Taylor, but he gave me a 30 minute consultation and planned the avenue I had to take to proceed on my behalf. I took the step by step legal action I was to pursue, and with each step of the way I became empowered by his advice…I was confident going into the court as I was fully prepared as what to expect, Mr. Taylor groomed me well. I was successful in obtaining child and spousal support after 7 years of receiving nothing. What a victory!

Mr. Taylor has shown me I am not helpless, with proper guidance, I can take control and understand the legal system and its dynamics! Mr. Taylor has given me the success to know that I can succeed when I take charge.”

I walked into Scott Taylor’s kitchentabledivorce.ca support group meeting feeling completely defeated, hopeless and helpless. My husband was emotionally and verbally abusive and completely controlling. There were many deviant issues involved. Without a penny to my name, how was I to leave? And I HAD to leave.

I had spoken to a few lawyers and they had all told me to not leave until the house issue was resolved. I feared for my safety and my daughter’s. The police were unable to help. Scott was the first lawyer who told me I absolutely could leave.

That first support group meeting changed and saved my life. After the meeting I immediately scheduled a consultation, where Scott gave me an action plan.

It’s one thing to go through a very intimidating experience of separation (physical and mental), but it’s another to deal with it emotionally all by yourself. What a genius idea to give support to those who are going through, or thinking of going through, one of the biggest changes in their life. It is a death. A death of your relationship. A death of life as you knew it. Who doesn’t need support going through that? I know I would not be the same person today if I didn’t have the support of Scott, the support group, my therapist and my friends and family.

Today, though my ex still hasn’t signed anything, I know I can do this and the end is in sight. I have faith in Scott and in the legal system but most importantly I have learned to have faith in myself. I am on my own. Never before have I been in control. I have bought a new car, gone back to school, learned how to finance and make important decisions about all aspects of life including how to raise my daughter. I feel empowered and confident. Not only will life be okay but I am okay and there isn’t anything I can’t handle.
