Leanna grew up in a small town and understands the needs and goals of farmers and corporate executives alike. She attended the University of Western Ontario for both her B.A. (Hons) and M.A. in history, during which she was both a Dean’s list student and, in 1995, achieved the extraordinary achievement of becoming a Western nominee for the Rhodes Scholarship. After working with children with disabilities for many years, Leanna attended law school where she received the Reuben Wells Leonard prize in family law. Following law school, Leanna worked for 16 years, from articles through to full equity partner, at a major law firm where she was the practice group leader of the matrimonial law group. After being diagnosed with cancer in 2015, Leanna decided to follow her original dream of opening her own law practice. She has experience in all areas of law, including commercial litigation and administrative law, all of which allows her to bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to her family and estate client needs. She is an avid traveler, runner, cancer survivor and is in the process of obtaining her private pilot’s license. Leanna knows how to fight and win, and has been successful in family and estate litigation cases at all levels of court in Ontario. She is also the President of the Elgin Law Association.
