Jacqueline is committed to providing the highest quality representation, treating all her clients with respect and compassion, care and understanding and guiding them towards a resolution that is in their best interest.

Ms. Harounian has conducted many years of legal workshops for mental health professionals, enabling them to better assist patients going through matrimonial litigation. She is a guest speaker at Temples, schools, and other community organizations and she is sought after for her legal expertise by television news and print media for her comments on topical issues relating to family law. Several years ago, she began a separation-divorce legal clinic that she continues to offer at no charge to members of the community twice a month. More info on the group can be found at
