Mehlwyn Law is led by Michelle Mehl, a dedicated family lawyer and mediator based in Burlington, Ontario. With over three decades of legal experience spanning two continents, Michelle brings a unique depth of insight, professionalism, and empathy to every client she serves.
Originally from South Africa, Michelle earned her Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Laws degrees from the University of Kwa-Zulu Natal in 1992. Her early career was shaped by public service—first as a police officer, rising to the rank of Superintendent, and later as in-house legal counsel for the South African Police Services.
After moving to Canada, Michelle immersed herself in Canadian legal practice as a Family Law Clerk in Hamilton for seven years and also shared her knowledge as a law lecturer. In 2018, she completed her Canadian Certificate of Accreditation and was called to the Bar in 2019. She articled and practiced at a law firm which serviced the communities of Hamilton, Oakville, Milton and Burlington, where she became a highly valued member of the team.
Michelle holds a Master’s degree in Family Law (cum laude) and is also trained in family mediation and collaborative practice. She offers practical, compassionate guidance to individuals and families of all kinds—whether single, married, or part of a blended family—helping them navigate everything from wills and estate planning to family law matters and mediation.
When she's not practicing law, Michelle enjoys reading and spending time with her beloved pets. Her approach to law is rooted in compassion, integrity, and a genuine desire to help people move forward with clarity and peace of mind.
