Miao He handled a very complex cross-border asset case for me. My ex-spouse held multiple properties and company shares in China. She successfully traced and recovered the assets. Professional, patient, and fully bilingual.
When CAS got involved, I had no idea what to do. Miao He stepped in immediately and helped keep my child at home. She knows Ontario family law inside out and is a very effective advocate in court.
