In 2014, I traded an urban life in Calgary for the dream of a backyard garden, neighbours I knew, a 5-minute commute to the office, and more time with family in my wife’s hometown of Olds, Alberta.

7 years, 3 kids, and many backyard harvests later, I felt the traditional small town law firm could be reimagined. Over the course of years of client meetings around Mountain View County, I began to envision a model focused primarily on wills and estates for clients throughout rural Alberta. A model that would leverage technology, value the client experience, and help more rural Albertans protect their life’s work with the guidance of a lawyer focused primarily on estate planning for the modern family.

In 2020, the obstacle became the way when the Covid-19 Pandemic forced a change to many laws in Alberta, allowing for the signing of Wills, Enduring Powers of Attorneys and Personal Directives through video conferencing. Where a firm was once limited to in-person signing appointments and clients within driving distance, it was now free to advise and connect with anyone throughout Alberta with a reliable internet connection.

What you’ve saved matters. What you’ve raised matters. What you’ve dreamed and created from your kitchen table matters. I know, because I’ve been there. You’ve worked your entire life to reach this point, and our mission is to protect whatever matters to you the most.
