Monika Curyk is an experienced family lawyer that has been practicing in Mississauga for over 15 years. She is focusing exclusively on family law. Monika has been a compassionate and committed family lawyer who combines legal expertise with a deep sense of empathy. She actively guides her clients through emotionally challenging situations like separation, divorce, or child custody disputes. She has been listening to her clients for many years to understand their unique needs, offering personalized solutions while fiercely protecting their rights and interests.
Monika is committed to helping her clients negotiate fair settlements or assert their rights through court litigation. When in her client’s best interests, she offers family mediation services to help them find their own way through the maze of legal, emotional and financial issues related to separation and divorce.
While she strongly believes that it is best for separating spouses and their children, to avoid escalating the conflict and to amicably settle their differences, she also realizes that it is not always possible.
In addition to a law degree from Osgoode Hall Law School, Monika has two master’s degrees in psychology, including one from University of Toronto. Before she became a lawyer she was a mental health professional. As a therapist and counselor, she gained extensive experience dealing with conflict and its resolution, relationship dynamics, and trauma—including the trauma of relationship breakdowns. She also developed expertise in parenting in crisis and addressing domestic violence.
As a family lawyer and mediator, she strives to utilize the skills and experiences she had gained as a mental health professional. Monika’s strength is in communicating with clients. She helps them to clarify their goals and explains the law, as it is relevant to their circumstances, in order to assist them in making well informed decisions.
Monika is fluent in Polish.
