Read our latest testimonial about how we successfully resolved a challenging high net worth file:

Living in the Okanagan is great on many fronts, but when I found myself requiring legal counsel for a complex family case, it came up short. MacLean Law was recommended to me as a firm that provided the best of both worlds – the expertise and prestige that comes from being an award-winning Vancouver-based family law firm, along with the benefit of a local Kelowna office that was well-positioned to manage the day-to-day requirements of an ongoing legal matter with efficiency and attention to detail. Lorne MacLean, K.C. and his son Fraser MacLean are the backbone of a Dream Team of elite counsel offered by MacLean Law, and together with the other top-notch attorneys, paralegals, and support staff at both their Kelowna and Vancouver offices you can rest assured that you are in good hands. No one wants or expects to be navigating the legal complexities of a divorce, but if you find yourself on that path, and if your case is complex, conflicted, and / or high net-worth, knowing that you have the very best legal counsel on your side goes a long way to waylaying anxieties so that you can stay focused on the end goal of achieving a favourable resolution. Lorne MacLean K.C. gets results because he knows the law and how best to apply it a manner that benefits his clients. I owe Lorne, Fraser, and their team a debt of gratitude!
