Who We Are — Onyx Law Group

Onyx Law Group was founded in 2012 by Judith Janzen and Candace Cho. Since then they have built a Vancouver firm focused on three connected areas: family law, estates, and trusts. This video introduces the team and the way we work with clients through disputes that are often as personal as they are legal.

Litigation is our home ground, and much of what we do is resolved through negotiation and settlement rather than a courtroom. Whichever route your matter takes, the aim stays the same: represent you with integrity, protect your interests, and give you peace of mind that the file is in careful hands.

When you hire Onyx, you have a team of legal warriors on your side. I’m Judith Janzen. And I’m Candace Cho. Together, we founded Onyx Law in 2012 and have since built a diverse team of lawyers in our areas of expertise: family, estates, and trust law. As your steadfast advocates, we will leverage all of our unique skills, experience, energy, and creativity to obtain the result that you want and need for your legal problems. Our courtroom experience is extensive, and litigation is our wheelhouse. Our passion for treating every person we represent with integrity and compassion has made us known for a distinct approach to family, estates, and trust law. We achieve justice and solve complex disputes through creative solutions that other lawyers simply don’t think of.

As an estate litigator, I am known to be a formidable court and negotiation lawyer, and for never leaving any money at the settlement table. By leveraging my extensive knowledge of estate, trusts, and family law, and understanding the subtleties of family dynamics, I routinely obtain settlements for clients that are equivalent to the result at trial without incurring the time, risk, and expense of court. Family law is fast-paced and fraught with conflict and high emotion. My reputation in the family bar is an elegant pit bull. I specialize in high-conflict family cases, complex business issues, and international asset division. I’m skilled at and enjoy navigating the court system to my clients’ advantage. As a skilled negotiator and trial lawyer, my clients can rest assured that they are in good hands with my team on their case. When you retain Onyx, you have a fierce ally in your quest for justice. We are sensitive and compassionate to your needs and story, while unrelenting in promoting your interests when dealing with the opposition. At Onyx, we’re here to be your partner throughout the whole legal process, and to provide peace of mind that your matter is in safe hands. So please get in touch today if you need guidance with any matter of family, estates, or trust law. Our team will be happy to help.
