Andrew was very helpful in the purchase of our new home. He is extremely efficient, responds to texts and emails almost immediately, is very knowledgable, and came armed with stickers for our 2 year old. We would highly recommend Andrew for your legal needs.

Every case is different. A lawsuit might be resolved quickly or last for years depending on the case.
Very few personal injury civil cases go to trial; most are resolved by settlement or agreement.
No. You should talk to a lawyer first. Some insurance companies even offer you a settlement for much less than you would win in a courtroom. A KBL Law personal injury attorney can assess the merits of your case and advise the best path forward.
Don’t sign anything without consulting your lawyer.
Most insurance companies engage in risk management assessments. They calculate the chances of their winning a case. If you have a personal injury lawyer, then you may force the insurance company to settle out of court. Your personal injury lawyer can negotiate on your behalf.
The Motor Vehicle Accident Claim Fund may pay for those who do not have car insurance. There may also be other sources of recovery including your own insurance. Speak with a personal injury lawyer before settling.

A Personal Directive states your wishes concerning health and personal care.
A power of attorney gives you legal right to make financial decisions for someone who gives you the ability to do so on their behalf.

An Easement is a right for another to use a portion of a property, allowing someone to perform a necessary task such as place and mark services or pipelines, among other things.
When you sign your mortgage, you must make mortgage payments, on time. If you are one day late, you are technically in default. While most banks do not allow foreclosure immediately, they do have the right to commence a claim against you.
Foreclosure is the legal process where the bank asserts its legal right to possess your property because you failed to satisfy your end of the bargain. You failed to pay your mortgage on time, so you are in default. You could lose your home, and the bank can apply to the court to sell the property.
The earlier the better after you have sold your property, but you should meet with your Edmonton law firm at least 10 days before the completion date.

A share purchase is a transaction where you purchase the shares of an existing company to take control of it from the seller. This sort of transaction allows you to better maintain existing relationships with suppliers, creditors and staff than an asset purchase, but can expose your new venture to liability incurred prior to the purchase by the seller.
A Guarantee is a formal promise to pay another’s debt – usually a company’s indebtedness to a lender or landlord. In Alberta you must sign a Guarantees Acknowledgment for in front of a lawyer to be responsible under a guarantee.
Our office works with new business owners to plan and register new companies with Alberta registries. Each company has shareholders, directors, and officers appointed along bylaws and share issuance rules. You might start a company for tax planning or liability reasons, or both when considering a new venture.
A commercial lease is a lengthy and complicated document. You may be most interested in the base rent, additional rent for operating costs, and term of the lease. We would also suggest you consider whether you are required to give a guarantee, whether you can sell the business or assign the lease with landlord consent, and a multitude of other concerns. It is best to speak to a lawyer about your specific circumstances.
It all depends on circumstances, the number of children involved, property and debts. When couples separate, except in certain circumstances, typically the minimum separation period is 12 months before the Court will grant a divorce. We can work with you during that time in hopes of resolving any issues, so you can be divorced quickly. Unfortunately, if parties don’t cooperate, sometimes it can take more than a year to finalize a divorce.
