Me Élodie Bonneville

Me Élodie Bonneville

Founding lawyer & family mediator

Me Élodie Bonneville

Founding lawyer & family mediator — Member of the Barreau du Québec (2017)

Me Élodie Bonneville is a family law lawyer with nearly ten years of experience in the field. Dynamic, rigorous, and passionate, she supports her clients with empathy, transparency, and determination during what are often sensitive times in their lives.

A member of the Barreau du Québec since 2017, Me Bonneville first completed a certificate in international arbitration at McGill University in 2011, followed by civil law studies at the University of Ottawa in 2014. She then obtained a Master's in Common Law (Juris Doctor) from the Université de Montréal in 2015, before completing her professional training at the École du Barreau du Québec in 2016 — fulfilling a dream she had cherished since childhood: becoming a lawyer.

Since the beginning of her career, Me Bonneville has focused her practice primarily on family law, particularly regarding divorce, child custody, parenting time, support payments, and the resolution of family disputes. Perfectly bilingual, she represents her clients in both French and English, both in court and during negotiations.

Committed to her community, Me Bonneville also served for three years on the board of directors of Maison d'hébergement L'Ombrelle, located in Sainte-Agathe-des-Monts, an organization that helps women fleeing domestic violence. Notably, she held the position of vice-president of the board for two years.

Me Bonneville is also a member of the Association des avocats et avocates en droit familial du Québec. Since November 2021, she has been an accredited family mediator, allowing her to guide families in finding sustainable, tailored solutions that respect everyone's needs.

Family law lawyer

Me Alycia Cesar

Family law lawyer — Member of the Barreau du Québec (2026)

Me Alycia Cesar is a family law lawyer. She practices with conviction, rigor, and empathy in cases involving deeply human and often sensitive issues.

Her approach is distinguished by a sharp understanding of family dynamics, shaped by her background in criminology and victimology, as well as her field experience with vulnerable clients.

She steps in with firmness and discernment to defend her clients' interests, while keeping respect, active listening, and the pursuit of amicable solutions at the heart of her practice whenever possible.

Me Cesar also accepts specific mandates to represent children in family disputes, aiming to ensure their voices are heard and their rights are protected in contexts where they too often find themselves caught between two realities.

Furthermore, she is actively involved in representing victims of domestic violence, offering them committed, reassuring legal support tailored to their reality.

Engaged, accessible, and determined, Me Cesar practices family law rooted in today's reality: a human, strategic law firmly focused on protecting the most vulnerable. Me Cesar has been a member of the Bar since 2026.
