B.A.(Hons.), LL.B.
Julie joined Devry Smith Frank LLP in July 2011 as an associate in the family law department.
Julie Tyas received her Honours Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Wilfrid Laurier University in 2003 and she then completed her LL.B. at the University of Windsor in 2006.

She has practiced family law exclusively since 2007, at two well-respected law firms in downtown Toronto.
Julie’s practice incorporates all aspects of family law for heterosexual and same-sex couples including: cohabitation agreements, marriage contracts, separation agreements, property issues, divorce, child and spousal support, custody and access. Julie is committed to providing her clients with alternatives to litigation, (including mediation and/or arbitration) but she advocates on behalf of her clients in the Ontario courts should this be the most appropriate forum for each client’s unique circumstances.
