Bani Family Law is based right in Markham, at 500 Hood Rd, Suite 400. We are not a satellite office or a firm that occasionally takes cases in the area. Markham is our home base, and we have built our practice around serving the families who live here.
Family law issues affect every part of life, including children, homes, finances and long-term plans. Working with a lawyer who is genuinely local, who understands the community, and who is a short drive away for meetings makes the process more manageable during an already difficult time.
Our office is convenient for clients across the city and easily accessible from Highway 404, Highway 407 and Highway 7. Whether you live in Unionville, Cornell, Milliken, Berczy Village, Markham Village, Thornhill or anywhere else in Markham, our office is a manageable distance away for consultations and meetings.
Markham is part of York Region, so family law cases are heard at the Newmarket Courthouse at 50 Eagle Street West. York Region has a Family Court Branch of the Superior Court of Justice, often called a Unified Family Court. That means one court can deal with every family law issue, including divorce, support, parenting, property division and child protection, so your case is not split between two court systems.
Many family law matters can be resolved without a courtroom through negotiation, mediation or collaborative family law. When a court appearance is necessary, we prepare you for what to expect at every step.

Markham is one of the most culturally diverse cities in Canada, and our team reflects that. We are proud to serve clients in English, Farsi, Tamil and Punjabi:
