Born and raised in Edmonton, I am a civil litigation lawyer with over 10 years of experience, including representing plaintiffs in personal injury claims. I also have considerable experience on the defence side of personal injury files in private practice and as municipal in-house counsel.
During my career, I have attended countless questionings for discovery, mediations, and judicial dispute resolutions, as well as many court appearances, having appeared before all levels of Court in Alberta. As a creative problem solver, I use that knowledge to develop legal strategies to consider how the other side thinks and is likely to view a claim while focusing on what solutions will meet my client’s long-term needs. My experience as a defence lawyer has given me a unique perspective and understanding of personal injury law.
I have always been drawn to helping people, which led me to join CAM LLP as a plaintiffs-only personal injury lawyer in July 2024. I find notion of helping injured people get back on track very rewarding and was delighted to join a firm that has an exceptional reputation as a team of smart, passionate lawyers who work to solve problems in the way that best suits their clients needs. Sometimes, that means negotiating or representing a client in a mediation; sometimes, that means going to court to get a just result. I have many years of experience negotiating a wide variety of legal issues and settlements, including complex personal injury matters.
I’m a skilled litigation lawyer and am very comfortable in the courtroom. If taking a client’s case to court is the best or most efficient way to get the job done, I will not hesitate to do so. However, I’m also mindful that court can take its toll on clients in terms of additional stress and the time it takes to get a judicial result. So, if there are alternatives, I will help my clients decide what approach best suits their needs.
I have experience in the following areas:
Injury claims arising from motor vehicle accidents (vehicle and pedestrian), slip and falls, and trip and fallsClaims arising from fatal injuriesInsolvency litigationComplex contract disputesEnvironmental claimsAdministrative law matters
