Welcome to Passageway Law

Life changes. Good guidance matters.

Family changes. Buying homes. Planning ahead. Building businesses. We guide clients through life’s important legal transitions with clarity and confidence.

A Different Kind of Law Firm.

Engaging a traditional law firm often adds stress to an already stressful situation. Why? Because it’s a relationship that can feel one-sided – the process ends up feeling prolonged, opaque, impersonal, and – at its conclusion, whether resolved favourably or not – expensive.

Passageway Law is different…

What Our Clients Are Saying

    Tracey L.

  • Meryn and her team are phenomenal! Meryn is personable, knowledgeable and professional! My matter was close to the heart and emotional. Meryn supported me every step of the way and broke things down for me to understand better. I am forever grateful to Meryn and her team! ❤️

    Chelsea O.

  • Thank you so much to Meryn and her team. She is busy for a reason, definitely worth the wait and didn’t break the bank. I cannot say enough good things. I went to Meryn during the most difficult point in my life and she took my case seriously. Meryn is very confident and didn’t waste my time or money. I felt as though Meryn was a friend looking out for my best interest. I recommend her to anyone needing help.

    Angela M.

  • After many years of putting our wills off, my husband and I decided to look into having them done. A good friend recommended Meryn and we couldn’t be happier. We had a lot of questions and really did not know where to start. Meryn was always quick to respond to every email we sent. She was professional, friendly and provided solid legal advice. I highly recommend Meryn and her team.

    Deb S.

  • We were very pleased with Meryn’s professional service of our house closing. There was a zoning problem that she handled very effectively and we were therefore able to close on time. We would not hesitate to use Meryn in the future or recommend her

    Dan L.

  • From our first meeting, which was a very stressful time in my life, Meryn explained everything to me in terms I could easily understand and she was always very responsive when I had questions outside of our meetings. I was very satisfied with the outcome she procured for me. I have recommended her to my friends who were also very satisfied with her abilities. I highly recommend Passageway Law!

    Theresa B.

  • Meryn has exceeded our expectations in her legal expertise over the years. My husband and I required legal services for both real estate purposes and the creation of wills, and were blown away by her professionalism, responsiveness, and the efficiency with which she helped us navigate each respective process. She took the time to answer all of our questions thoroughly and ensure all of our legal needs were met. I would highly recommend Meryn and her team!

She really helped me through my issue with patience for all of my questions and provided great information that allowed me to really understand what was going on with my file.

  • Thank you Passageway for your help in this matter. I was very happy with their service. I have been dealing with opposing counsel for ten years now, both on my own and with other lawyers. It felt to me that he caused a lot of unnecessary delay and confusion at every turn. Somehow Meryn was able to cut through this and quickly. I really appreciate it.
