Camila Motta didn't just study Family Law — she lives it

Her passion for advocacy began at a young age when she penned a letter to the judge presiding over her parents' divorce, asking for joint decision-making and equal parenting time. Today, as the founder of Revive Law, that child-centred perspective is the foundation of her practice.

Providing services in Ontario, with a physical office in Burlington, Camila is a Brazilian-born lawyer and a graduate of Osgoode Hall Law School (LLM). Having navigated her own divorce and separation in Ontario, she offers her clients a rare combination of professional expertise and personal empathy. She understands the emotional toll of the legal system and works tirelessly to preserve the relationships at stake.

"I was happy with her services, she was very professional and helpful. I admire her patience and the easy way she explained things to me and made me feel at ease talking to her. I most certainly will recommend her services."

A Better Way to Separate

After years of litigation in various Ontario family courts, Camila believes that Collaborative Practice and mediation often yield the best results for families. She is dedicated to helping clients stay out of court whenever possible, using alternative dispute resolution to reduce conflict and cost. However, should court intervention be required, she provides candid assessments and skilled representation.

Life Beyond the Law

Camila is fluent in English and Portuguese. Outside of the office, she leads a full and vibrant life. As a divorced mother of two, she understands the daily juggling act of co-parenting and the importance of family stability.

To recharge, Camila maintains an active lifestyle, balancing the discipline of weight training with the grace of ballroom dancing. When she isn't staying active or enjoying time with her network of family and friends, she is likely at home relaxing. A former "dog person" officially converted to a "cat lady," she finds her cats’ purrs are the perfect way to settle her mind after a busy day.
