- Check the lawyer’s status and any public discipline in the state bar or law society directory.
- Ask how many divorce and family law matters the lawyer handles each year, and who at the firm will do the work.
- Get the fee arrangement in writing: hourly, flat or contingency, and which costs are charged on top.
- Ask how and how often the firm will update you, and how fast it answers calls and emails.
- Read recent reviews for how the firm communicated and billed, not only for outcomes.
- Ask how the firm bills phone calls and emails, and how often you will get an itemised bill.

The median Google rating among 37 rated divorce and family lawyers in London is 4.6★, with a median of 39 reviews. Notary On the Go has the most, 223 reviews, and ranks #1. We adjust ratings for review count, so a few five-star reviews cannot top the list.
How does LawFirmsRanked rank divorce and family lawyers?
Each divorce and family lawyer gets a 0–100 LFR Score from nine published factors, led by reputation (25%), practice focus (15%), review volume (10%) and recency (10%). A law firm with no Google reviews scores zero on rating, review volume and recency; other factors we cannot measure are left out. Only law firms with a confirmed practice area and 3 or more reviews, or a claimed profile, are ranked.
Do divorce and family lawyers outside London count in this ranking?
Yes, if they are within 40 km of the London city centre, our service radius for divorce and family lawyers. Each listing shows where the law firm is based and how far away it is. Proximity is 5% of the LFR Score, so a nearby law firm gets a small edge.
Can divorce and family lawyers pay to rank higher on LawFirmsRanked?
No. The LFR Score never reads payment status, and this ranking has 0 paid placements. Up to 3 Featured law firms may appear above the list, labelled Attorney advertising and showing their honest rank.
How do divorce and family lawyers in London, ON charge?
Family lawyers usually bill by the hour against an upfront retainer; some offer fixed fees for uncontested or limited-scope work. Ask for the fee arrangement in writing before you agree.
Do I need a lawyer for an uncontested divorce?
Not always: divorce is granted under the federal Divorce Act, and courts accept joint applications. A lawyer can still review the agreement on property, support and parenting before you sign it. This is general information, not legal advice.
How is this list of divorce and family lawyers in London, ON ranked?
By LFR Score only, from public data on reviews, practice focus, office location and hours. Firms labelled “Attorney advertising” paid for that placement; payment never changes a rank, and a rank is not an endorsement.
Does a lawyer need an office in London?
No, but the lawyer must be licensed in your province (or, for federal matters such as immigration, in some province). A local office makes meetings and court appearances easier, so proximity is one of our factors.
