Ruth Kalnitsky Roth

A partner in the Family Law Group, Ruth Kalnitsky Roth brings nearly 20 years of experience to her family law practice. She is a tireless and creative advocate for clients in every aspect of family law. 

Throughout her years of practice, Ruth has gained considerable experience in  negotiation, alternative dispute resolution, litigation, trials and appeals. Her robust practice involves complex litigation dealing with financial and children's issues with a particular focus on cross-border matters. 

With service excellence at the forefront of everything she does, Ruth is committed to delivering exceptional legal counsel and support to clients, moving things forward as efficiently and cost-effectively as possible. Ruth invests time at the outset of every engagement to ensure she gains a full understanding of her clients’ desired outcomes. She is skilled at distilling legal knowledge and complex information in a way her clients understand and provides a clear picture of their various options, while never losing sight of their objectives.

To complement her practice, Ruth dedicates time to giving back to the communities in which she lives and works by assisting with the updating of Family Law in Ontario, a local practice guide, volunteering with several Pro Bono programs in the GTA.
