About me
Welcome to Northern Horizon
My name is Brittany and I am the person behind Northern Horizon
Paralegal & Mediation Services. I created this practice because I
believe legal services should feel approachable, understandable,
and personal.
My career in the legal field has given me experience working with
a variety of legal matters, including exposure to family law.
Through that experience, I saw firsthand how overwhelming
things like separation, parenting disagreements, child support,
and other family-related issues can be. I also came to understand
how important it is for people in Northern Ontario to have access
to practical, affordable, and approachable legal services close to
home.
My approach is practical, compassionate, and personal. I know
that reaching out for legal help often means that something in
your life has become difficult, uncertain, or simply more
complicated than you expected. My goal is to make the process
easier to understand, answer your questions, explain your options,
and help you feel more confident about what comes next.
MISSION
To provide accessible, compassionate, and professional legal and mediation
services to individuals and families across Northern Ontario while promoting fair
resolutions, empowering informed decision-making, and reducing barriers to
justice.
VISION
To become a trusted and recognized provider of mediation and legal support
services throughout Northern Ontario, known for professionalism, affordability,
accessibility, and client centered service.
My Education & Professional Background
I received my Bachelor of Arts in Law and Justice and History from Algoma University in 2019, followed by my Paralegal Diploma from Canadian Career College in 2022. I became licensed as a Paralegal with the Law Society of Ontario in 2025. I completed my Family Mediation certification in 2024 and became an Accredited Family Mediator through the Ontario Association for Family Mediation (OAFM) in 2026.

My experience working in the legal field has given me exposure to a variety of legal matters and a practical understanding of the challenges people can face when dealing with legal issues and major life changes. This experience also led to my interest in family mediation.
As a Licensed Paralegal and Accredited Family Mediator, I’m committed to providing services that are practical, professional, and accessible. I maintain professional liability insurance and remain in good standing with the applicable professional and regulatory requirements. I believe that being a legal professional means more than having the right education and credentials. It means being accountable, prepared, and committed to treating every person with professionalism and respect.
A Little About Me
While my work is an important part of who I am, there is much
more to me outside of the office.
I’m happiest when I’m outdoors and enjoying the quieter things in
life. I love getting out on the water, exploring the outdoors, and
spending time away from the busy pace of everyday life. Much of
my free time is spent with my husband, Josh, and our two dogs,
Lexi and Hudson.
Northern Ontario has always felt like home to me. The outdoors,
the community, and the lifestyle here are a big part of what I love
about living and working in this region. It’s also one of the reasons
I wanted to build a practice that serves the people and
communities around me.
