Before I owned my own Alberta personal injury law firm. Before I worked for 17 years as a lawyer for a top personal injury law firm in Alberta, fighting for my clients and handling thousands of cases.

The values of justice, fairness and equality were instilled deep within me by my upbringing and personal struggles. From that beginning,

I Learned Hope, Hard Work,

Determination And Passion.

I learned the ability to never give up and to overcome challenges. I realized that these core principles would be best utilized in a career as a lawyer where I could fight for the hurt, traumatized and dispossessed. Where I could fight for you.

And for 17 years, I’ve had that legal career fighting for the injured, the hurt, the traumatized and the dispossessed.

When the pandemic struck, it was personal. I got sick. I saw many people in my own community and city getting sick and even dying from Covid-19. I witnessed up close my family, friends and clients struggling financially, mentally and emotionally. I saw pain, loss, anguish and hardship take their toll.

In the face of hardships, we either retreat or we find new purpose.

I was inspired and found a new level of passion for helping people get through troubling times. Despite unprecedented times and my own health struggles, I settled an astonishing number of files, driven by the desire to bring closure to those who needed to find this certainty, in the face of uncertain times.

The pandemic made me realize how truly important it is to connect deeply with those who most desperately need my help. I felt that if I was free to do things the way I knew my clients deserved, I could truly serve them.
