Liz Kabesh - Elizabeth (Liz) is one of those odd people who knew from early on that she was going to be a family lawyer. After focusing on family law throughout law school and her articling years, her connection with this area of law and the people it affects has only grown. 5 Liz’s main draw to family law stems from her background working with children and youth. Before law school, Liz went to teacher’s college at Queen’s University, and is a fully qualified high school teacher. This experience has led her to prioritize not only her clients’ needs, but also the needs of the children impacted by a separation. Liz has extensive experience with helping people through all aspects of their separation or divorce.
