Helping You Move Forward.
Practical legal guidance for life’s most important—and most difficult—transitions.
Whether you are facing criminal charges, considering separation, planning for your family’s future, dealing with the death or incapacity of a loved one, or buying a home, you deserve clear advice and a realistic path forward. We meet you where you are, without judgment, and help you understand what comes next. At McCordic Law, we provide practical, human-centred legal guidance to individuals and families in Fredericton and throughout New Brunswick.
Life Does Not Always Follow the Plan
Some legal matters begin with an exciting new chapter: buying a home, starting a business or making plans to protect the people you love. Others begin on one of the hardest days of your life: an arrest, a separation, the loss of a loved one or the realization that someone close to you can no longer make decisions safely.
Whatever brought you here, you are probably looking for more than a legal answer. You need someone to explain your options, help you understand the risks and work with you on a practical next step.
At McCordic Law & Mediation, our goal is not simply to help you get through the legal process. It is to help you move forward—and, wherever possible, grow through the experience into a stronger next chapter.

You will understand your options and what each one may mean.
Practical
We focus on realistic strategy, proportionality and the consequences beyond the courtroom.

We address today’s legal problem while keeping your future in view.
Featured Service:
Separation Planning Consultation
Thinking about separation? You do not have to make the decision today—but you can make sure your next decision is informed.
Choose a focused one-hour consultation or a comprehensive two-hour planning session. We can discuss parenting, support, property, the family home, financial preparation, documents to gather, common mistakes to avoid and the legal process in New Brunswick.
When Everything Feels Like It Is Colliding
Criminal and family law issues often do not stay in separate boxes. A criminal allegation, release condition, no-contact provision or peace bond may affect parenting, housing, communication and the course of a separation. Decisions in one matter can have consequences in the other.
Our work at the intersection of criminal and family law helps clients see the whole picture, understand competing risks and develop a coordinated path forward.
