Years WITH FIRM

“Because of an accident, victims miss work, suffer monetary losses, and need treatments to recover. More than simply seeking justice, my clients want to be able to care for themselves in the future. As a personal injury lawyer, I’m proud to be able to support injured Albertans in their quest for justice and compensation. That way, they don’t have to worry about how they will care for themselves or their loved ones going forward.”

WORKING WITH ME

As a James H. Brown and Associates’ Class Action Team member, I’m prepared to take on complex, high-profile cases, including those involving traumatic brain injuries and spinal cord disorders. I am passionate about helping my clients stand up to large insurance companies, and I work hard to educate my clients on the process of their personal injury claims. This customer service approach to personal injury law ensures my clients’ needs and abilities are prioritized. I am a responsive and effective communicator and will ensure you are constantly updated on the status of your case. In my professional opinion, providing my clients with the information necessary to know exactly what’s going on with their case is just as crucial as getting the best possible settlement.
