Laura provides dedicated representation for clients who find themselves faced with death, financial vulnerability, or capacity concerns. These issues can arise suddenly and turn lives upside down. In such circumstances, Laura’s clients appreciate her ability to clearly explain the law and their options, and to tenaciously pursue the outcome that best meets their individual circumstances.

Laura first became interested in estates law while clerking at the Ontario Superior Court in Toronto, where she worked on a variety of estates matters, from routine probate applications to more complex disputes. Since her call to the bar in 2015, Laura has practiced exclusively in the area of estates, trusts and capacity litigation, and has represented clients before the Ontario Court of Appeal, the Superior Court and at mediation.

Laura joined Casey & Moss in 2017 as the firm’s first associate, and was thrilled to become a partner at the firm in 2021.

Laura enjoys cycling to work in all weather, sampling local craft beer, reading widely, spending time with her husband and son, and trying to convince her cat and dog to be friends.
