JEFFREY ORDON
Family Law Senior Associate Lawyer
Jeffrey was meant to be a family lawyer. It all began with the stories his mother used to tell him about how she appealed a case all the way to the Supreme Court of Canada, resulting in the landmark decision Ordon Estate v Grail.
Jeffrey is competitive and has always been fascinated by people and what motivates their thoughts and behaviours. This led him to study Psychology at York University and then to focus on dispute resolution, litigation and family law at the University of Ottawa Faculty of Law when he earned his JD.
No stranger to the courtroom, Jeffrey exclusively practices family law across Ontario, from the GTA all the way to Windsor, Ontario. He has appeared before the Ontario Court of Justice and Superior Court of Justice on numerous occasions for both civil and family law matters. He has advocated in Court for his clients at conferences, motions, and trials, and out of Court in mediations and arbitrations. Jeffrey’s success has also been published in Court decisions on issues such as spousal support, parenting time, and the recent changes to Canada’s and Ontario’s family law legislation.
His passion for helping families during what is likely the most difficult time in their lives is evident in his practice, which involves all aspects of family law, including but not limited to parenting, child and spousal support, and property.
As a Senior Associate at Anthony Family Law, Jeffrey is not just a lawyer, but a mentor and guide for junior lawyers and students. He is dedicated to training them to be the next great advocates.
When Jeffrey isn’t advocating for his clients, he is probably playing hockey, reading a book, watching Jeopardy!, or annoying family with his (very loud) drum set.
