Introducing Judith DaSilva, who is now offering family law mediation services with KDB Law!

Judith has spent her career helping people navigate complex transitions with clarity, compassion, and practical solutions. Drawing on a unique background in health care, education, and dispute resolution, she supports individuals and families through some of life’s most challenging conversations.

Judith began her career as an Occupational Therapist specializing in mental health, helping individuals and families navigate the transition from hospital to home following serious mental health challenges. Her experience working with families in times of crisis shaped the empathetic, client-centred approach she brings to mediation today.

After earning degrees in Biology, Occupational Therapy, English, and a Master of Laws in Alternative Dispute Resolution, Judith shifted her focus to families experiencing separation and conflict. She has extensive experience mediating parenting, financial, and family issues, as well as supporting adult families through intergenerational conflict, aging parent concerns, care planning, and decision-making.

Alongside her mediation practice, Judith contributes to the advancement of the profession through her work with the Ontario Association for Family Mediation, where she assists with accreditation, professional development, and client relations. She has also co-authored The McKenzie Friend: Bringing a Support Person with You to Court for the National Self-Represented Litigants Project. Judith also has recently attained her Workplace Investigations Certificate.

Known for her warmth, thoughtful listening, and ability to help people feel heard, Judith believes that durable resolutions are built when people feel respected, understood, and empowered to make informed decisions together.

Labour Day weekend always feels like the start of a new year in many ways. This year even more so for KDB, as next Tuesday we welcome the newest member of our team, lawyer Maddie Hill.

Maddie grew up on a pig farm in Perth County. Her parents’ experiences as farmers and business owners first sparked her interest in law. They also gave her firsthand insight into the opportunities and challenges facing rural families and businesses. She is proud to bring that perspective to her practice and serve the community she has always called home.

Maddie graduated with Distinction from Western Law in 2025. She completed her articles as a judicial law clerk at the Ontario Superior Court of Justice in London, where she worked closely with judges on legal research and decision writing. She also gained experience at a national firm in Toronto.

Outside of work, Maddie can usually be found at the rink or planning her next trip somewhere mountainous. She has played ringette since childhood and continues to referee youth games. On quieter days, she enjoys puzzling, cross-country skiing (poorly), and cheering for the London Knights.

Welcome Maddie! We are delighted that you will be joining us ✨🥂

KDB Law is excited to announce that we are now providing Family Law Mediation services in collaboration with Nick Skinner and Judith DaSilva! ✨☺️

We are excited to add this service offering to our firm as we work to find more ways to support people going through relationship breakdown in our community. So let’s meet the mediators! First up, Nick.

Nick Skinner was born and raised in Perth County. He is an accredited mediator with the Alternative Dispute Resolution Institute of Canada. Nick worked as a mediator-in-training at Muxlow Mediation in Goderich after completing a Certificate in Family Mediation at York University and a Certificate in Conflict Management and Mediation at the University of Waterloo.

Mediation is a mid-career pivot for Nick, who has spent more than a decade working as a communications professional. He continues to work at Wilfrid Laurier University after past roles in the non-profit sector, including at Sunnybrook Foundation and Ronald McDonald House Charities Toronto.

Nick is redirecting his skills toward conflict resolution, eager to help people work through their issues with constructive, curious, respectful communication. He spent three years volunteering at Community Justice Initiatives in Kitchener, facilitating support groups and restorative conversations for survivors of sexual harm.

Outside of the office, Nick is a foodie and dedicated member of his book club. He serves on the board of directors at United Way Perth-Huron.

KDB Law is excited to be working with you Nick 🙏
