Our Practice

I have been practicing primarily in the area of family law since becoming a lawyer in 2011, and have been serving the Fergus community through the Christopher J. Unruh Law Office since 2015. 

In addition to my work as a family law lawyer and mediator, I also regularly serve as family law duty counsel in the Guelph and Walkerton courthouses, and provide legal services for children through the Office of the Children's Lawyer and for the Family Responsibility Office as an empaneled lawyer.  

I am a proud member of the Centre Wellington community and have been residing and raising my family in Fergus since 2013.   I was raised in the nearby communities of Elmira and Listowel. 

I have been proud to serve as a lawyer to clients throughout southwestern Ontario, including at the Guelph, Walkerton, Kitchener Waterloo, Orangeville, Owen Sound, Goderich, Stratford, Hamilton, Barrie and Milton courthouses.
