Crosby Law Group

Crosby Law Group represents a progressive law firm based in Glace Bay, Nova Scotia, offering compassionate, comprehensive representation across family law, property law, estate planning, immigration law, and corporate law. Located at 38 Union Street in Glace Bay, the firm is owned and operated by Gordon B. Gear, B.A., J.D., who brings professional education and personal commitment to helping families navigate legal transitions. The firm's philosophy recognizes that family separation and divorce are never easy, and that families deserve support from counsel who understands the emotional dimensions of these transitions while providing expert legal guidance. The firm is positioned as a full-service legal practice serving the Cape Breton community and surrounding region, bringing the kind of integrated legal capabilities necessary for families facing legal issues spanning multiple areas. Family law services offer full-service representation across all family law matters. The firm helps families navigating separation and divorce understand their rights and obligations, negotiate fair settlements, and resolve disputes through litigation when negotiation does not succeed. The firm's approach to family law disputes emphasizes protecting clients' interests while minimizing the emotional toll that adversarial legal processes can inflict on families. This philosophy reflects both practical wisdom—litigation is expensive and unpredictable—and genuine care for family wellbeing. Divorce representation encompasses both uncontested divorces (where couples have reached agreement) and contested matters (where disputes require negotiation or litigation). For uncontested divorces, the firm helps couples finalize their separations efficiently with proper legal documentation. For contested divorces, the firm's litigation experience ensures effective courtroom advocacy protecting clients' interests. The firm's property law services prove particularly valuable in family law contexts involving property division questions, family home considerations, and real estate aspects of divorce. Estate planning services complement family law practice, helping clients update wills and estate plans following separation or divorce to reflect new circumstances and intentions. Immigration law services address the sometimes-complex intersection of family law and immigration issues for families with international elements. Corporate law services help clients with business interests understand how separation affects their businesses and ensure proper valuation and division of business assets. The firm's flat-fee consultation offering makes initial legal advice affordable and accessible. The phone consultation allows prospective clients to discuss their situations, understand available options, and make informed decisions about representation. This accessible approach to initial consultation reflects the firm's commitment to making family law representation available to families with varying financial resources. For families in Glace Bay and the surrounding Cape Breton region seeking family law representation from experienced, progressive counsel with genuine commitment to understanding family transitions and providing both expert legal guidance and emotional support, Crosby Law Group offers the combination of compassion, expertise, and integrated legal capabilities that serves families well through difficult life transitions.
