Michael Silkstone

Clear advice. Practical progress.

Michael began his career in family law while articling at a boutique firm in Hamilton. His early work covered marriage contracts, separation agreements, parenting, decision-making responsibilities, and child and spousal support.

That experience shaped his belief in honest advice and a focus on solutions. He works to make a stressful process more manageable, with clients understanding both the issues and the reasons behind each next step.

Seeing how the pieces connect.

A separation can affect much more than the immediate family law questions. Business valuations, property interests, existing wills, beneficiary designations and long-term plans may all need attention.

Michael helps clients consider these connected issues when making decisions. His approach brings family law, real estate, and wills and estates considerations into the conversation so that the wider financial and personal picture receives careful thought.

An approach built around you.

Michael aims to advance solutions rather than prolong disputes. On every file, he works to help clients feel heard, understand their options and move into the next chapter with greater clarity.
