QUINN LAW CORPORATION
SERVICES
Quinn Law Corporation is devoted to delivering cost effective quality legal services and helping clients protect their families while preserving their assets.
Quinn Fuglestveit works as a family law lawyer, personal injury lawyer, and general civil litigation lawyer primarily on the Sunshine Coast (Sechelt, BC; Gibsons, BC; and Roberts Creek, BC) but also represents clients in the lower mainland. Quinn realizes the significant cost associated with legal services and will recommend the most cost-effective approach to obtain the desired results. Although Quinn loves the courtroom, he will go to great lengths to help clients steer clear of it to minimize legal expense and avoid the inherent uncertainty associated with any court application or trial.
If you are looking for a candid lawyer to provide you with straight forward answers, you have come to the right place. Quinn can identify your legal issue(s) (entitlements, obligations, liabilities, etc.), provide you with options, and act.
FOCUSED ON FAMILY LAW
Quinn has extensive experience representing clients as a family law lawyer with a focus on contested matters (family law litigation) including but not limited to negotiating settlements, commencing actions, defending actions, various applications for court orders (advancing and defending), running trials, and preparing agreements.
Since being called to the bar in British Columbia, Quinn has successfully advocated for his clients in the Supreme Court of British Columbia on a variety of matters both contentious and procedural, including:
- family law agreements, including preparing cohabitation agreements, marriage agreements / prenuptial agreements, separation agreements, divorce agreements, and postnuptial agreements, and disputing and setting aside cohabitation / marriage / prenuptial agreements;
- divorce, including contested divorce (litigated / disputed), uncontested divorce / desk order divorce, divorce involving children, and divorce involving division of property / assets and debt(s)), and collateral issues related to divorce;
- property issues, including division of family property and/or family debt(s), interim distributions of property, conduct and sale of disputed property, exclusive possession of the family home / former family home, excluded property claims, unequal division of property and/or debt(s), unjust enrichment claims, orders to sell property (forced sale), orders to prevent the sale or transfer of property, interim distribution of property, occupational rent claims, and agreements respecting property (oral and written);
- parenting and custody, including guardianship, primary residence, parenting time, parenting arrangements (care and time with a child or children), parental responsibilities and decision making, supervised parenting and access, etc.;
- parenting issues, including alienation, denial of parenting time, relocation issues (obtaining orders to permit or restrict relocation of a child or children), police enforcement clauses, etc.;
- child support issues, including determining child support obligations, calculating child support, advancing or defending child support claims (including ongoing / prospective child support, retroactive child support, child support arrears and section 7 expenses), and establishing underemployment and obtaining orders for an imputed income; and
- spousal support / spousal maintenance / alimony, including commencing and defending claims for spousal support, establishing entitlement to spousal support (non-compensatory spousal support, compensatory spousal support, contractual spousal support), and obtaining various orders / awards related to payment of spousal support (including imputed incomes, retroactive awards, prospective awards, and lump-sum awards).
Quinn was given the opportunity to independently run trials very early in his career and has successfully advanced and defended claims at trial in both the superior and provincial courts of British Columbia.
REPRESENTATION
QUINN M. FUGLESTVEIT, Lawyer
"Ethics is knowing the difference between what you have a right to do and what is right to do."
Approach
Family law matters are not typically pleasant or inexpensive. There are no real “winners”, just varying degrees of loss. Quinn believes family law advocacy is about mitigating loss and insulating clients against further loss through effective use of procedural tools and negotiation. Quinn’s approach to disputes is to encourage settlement (when possible) so that a client may avoid costly, exhausting, and often unnecessary legal proceedings.
When it comes to litigation, no case is a guaranteed winner. Resolving an issue through the courts typically involves considerable expense (financial and emotional) and the outcome will never be certain. Reaching an agreement through effective negotiation can provide certainty of outcome and/or expense while avoiding the risk, expense, and delay typically associated with contested legal proceedings.
Quinn has avoided mediation and the court room and settled matters through a variety of approaches, including direct negotiations, 4-way conferences/meetings, Judicial Settlement Conferences, and settlement agreements; however, if necessary, he has the requisite skills, experience, and work ethic to effectively litigate matters and proceed to trial if settlement is not an option.
Quinn's ability to resolve or settle matters outside the courtroom largely comes from his experience representing clients in his capacity as a personal injury lawyer and general civil litigation lawyer. Quinn routinely applies the settlement tactics and negotiation strategies he acquired as a personal injury lawyer and civil litigator to his family law practice, and it has been a game changer for him. Quinn enjoys reaching favorable settlements because it saves clients money, provides certainty of outcome, and because he is competitive.
If you schedule an initial consultation with us, Quinn can identify your legal issues, provide various options, outline the pros and cons of those options, and give you a clear idea of costs (financial and non-financial) and the legal process.
WHAT TO EXPECT - Client Experiences
❝Quinn Fuglestveit is a knowledgeable, friendly and no-nonsense lawyer who instantly put me at ease and was able to answer all my questions succinctly and in a straightforward, understandable manner. He also went the extra distance…❞ – Rafe
❝…He was very thorough, conscientious, and answered all of my questions completely. I would highly recommend Quinn for any of your Family Law needs! I was very impressed.❞ – Ashely Gordon
❝I highly recommend Quinn if you are facing any family related litigation. This guy cared about my situation. I’ve dealt with other lawyers, and none of them even come close to this guy. I retained Quinn on a Friday at around 4:00 p.m. after my parenting time was unreasonably denied and I was served with a short notice application to be heard the following Monday, aimed at denying my parenting time for the foreseeable future. Instead of turning me away late on the Friday or seeking an adjournment, Quinn worked with me around the clock over his entire weekend and got me my son back on the Monday, just 3 days after I retained him. He put together 4 affidavits and an application response over his weekend and obtained an order getting me my parenting time back. So grateful I had this guy in my corner.❞ – Derek Rousselle
❝I’m so grateful for the knowledge, support, and care Quinn put in to my case. I was blown away by his attention to detail, as well as the long hours and dedication that went in to helping me. He went above and beyond anything I could have imagined. As a single mom this means so much more to me than I could possibly express in a review! My son and I appreciate everything you have done for us!❞
– Vanessa Nieuwenhuis

❝What a pleasure it was to find a young lawyer the likes of Quinn Fuglestveit from an internet search, I am grateful for his professional engagement and excellent work. No wasting time with Quinn. He listened to the backstory, asked the right questions, and quickly recommended a cost effective strategy. He speaks clearly and concisely from an impressive legal mindset, something a layperson like myself really appreciates. He made immediate time for me and even communicated with me on the weekends just to make sure things got done efficiently. The bonus is he is very reasonable in his charge rate and fees. I feel a high degree of legal confident with Quinn in my corner and would recommend him to others in my circle without hesitation.❞ – Spike
❝Mr. Fuglestveit agreed to see me within 24 hours. As I provided the details of my situation, he listened attentively, asking pertinent questions to confirm understanding. He took the time to clearly explain the rules that govern real property with regards to my case. He presented various options and we discussed them as a team. He was up front, honest, and there was no sugar coating, which I appreciated. He provided sound advice in a professional manner and I could tell he was looking after my best interest.❞… – Carole Varin
