Hi! I’m Sarah Gravelines (rhymes with travelin’).
I’m a lawyer in Winnipeg, Manitoba, and I’ve been practising for over fourteen years.
For most of my career, I worked as a full-service family lawyer helping people with everything from preparing documents to contested court proceedings. Over time, I realized that a lot of people don’t need full representation, they just need help with the most complicated parts.
My professional passion is helping people navigate the law in a way that is clear, practical, and focused on what actually matters.
In addition to my private practice, I also provide legal consultations through the Blue Cross Employee Assistance Program, teach articling students through CPLED, and volunteer with the Legal Help Centre. These roles reflect my ongoing commitment to legal education, access to justice, and helping people understand and navigate legal processes with confidence.
When I’m not working you can usually find me covered in foster kittens with my rescue chihuahua, Gingy, close by.
A practical approach to legal help
Many people don’t need a lawyer to take over every part of their situation — they need help with the parts that are hardest to do alone.
I offer limited-scope legal services, which means you can hire me for the help you need (like advice, document drafting, or reviewing what you’ve prepared) without paying for full representation.
You stay in control of your file - I help you get the hard parts right.
What I can help with
My practice focuses on:
Family law (including amicable separation agreements and uncontested divorce guidance and document drafting)
Wills & estates (including estate planning documents and probate/administration support)
If your matter is outside my scope, I will tell you upfront so you can get the right help quickly.
What you can expect when you work with me
You can expect:
Straightforward explanations in plain language;
Honest and practical guidance about what is realistic;
Clear next steps and written instructions
Efficient, organized service with transparent pricing
