Giancarlo Di Pietro | Vaudreuil-Dorion Family Law Lawyer

Lawyer.com Member Questionnaire

Please describe a case(s) in the last year or two where you made a big difference.
At an emergency hearing, I successfully went from supervised visitation for my client – supervised at the ex-spouse’s home for a few hours on weekends – to an alternating one-week/one-week scenario, a very rare switch in such an emergency context, and all against an adversary with nearly 50 years experience. It was a joy to make such an meaningful impact in my client’s life, and, especially, the life of the child.

What differentiates you from other lawyers in your community?
I have great respect for my attorney colleagues in the immediate community and beyond. What sets me apart is my continued willingness to balance a determination to see cases through with vigorous advocacy before the courts while simultaneously exploring settlement options through creative solutions with just as much tenacity. My priority is exceeding client expectations and limiting costs as much as possible. I am extremely sensitive to the enormous financial commitment hiring an attorney can mean and am proud to have one of the lowest hourly rates to be found in the province.

What is the most rewarding aspect of your job?
Bringing hope and practical solutions to a person facing the end of a relationship, an end that can often bring about an avalanche of emotion and uncertainty, is hugely gratifying. As well, knowing I can make a difference in a child’s life, a child too often deprived of a true voice in the courtroom, is personally rewarding in a way that really defies description.

Are you involved in your community?
I am a proud member of the Lord Reading Law Society and the Association of Italian-Canadian Jurists of Québec. I am also part of the LGBT community, a community far under-represented among attorneys, and I am proud to be part of changing that reality.
