Frequently Asked Questions
Child Welfare and Child and Family Services
Child and Family Services contacted me, what should I do first?
Seek legal advice immediately. These matters are time sensitive, and early steps including meetings, safety plans, and conditions often shape the result and the pace of reunification.
Family Law and Divorce
I’m separating, do I have to wait a year before I can deal with parenting, support, or urgent issues?
No. While a divorce judgment typically requires a period of separation, many issues can be addressed right away, including parenting arrangements, child support, spousal support, and urgent financial or safety related concerns.
Civil Litigation
Is there a deadline to start a lawsuit in Alberta?
Yes. In many civil matters, Alberta has a two year limitation period that starts running from when you knew or ought to have known you had a claim. Because deadlines can be strict and depend on the facts, it’s important to get legal advice early so you do not miss a deadline that could prevent you from bringing a claim.
Indigenous and Aboriginal Law
What is the difference between Indigenous law and Aboriginal law?
Aboriginal law generally refers to Canadian law dealing with Indigenous peoples’ rights, such as Aboriginal and Treaty rights, the Duty to Consult and Accommodate, and constitutional issues. Indigenous law refers to Indigenous legal orders and traditions developed within Indigenous communities, and how they may be applied alongside Canadian legal systems in governance, family, and community matters.
Criminal Defence
I have been charged with an offence, what should I do next?
Get legal advice as soon as possible. Early steps can affect release conditions, evidence, and how the matter proceeds.
Landlord Tenant Law
Can you help with landlord tenant disputes such as eviction, unpaid rent, or damage claims?
Yes. We assist both landlords and tenants with disputes, notices, and applications, and we help clients pursue practical resolutions or litigation when needed.
Sports Law
Can you help with athlete contracts or disputes in sport organizations?
Yes. We assist with contract issues and disputes, including discipline, governance concerns, and harassment related matters.
Appeals
Can I appeal a decision, and are there deadlines?
Appeals are time sensitive and deadline driven. If you are considering an appeal, it is important to get advice quickly so your options remain available.
Wills Estates and Elder Law
What can I do if I believe an elderly family member is being abused or taken advantage of by someone acting under a power of attorney?
Get legal advice promptly. We can help assess options to protect the person, address misuse of authority, and take steps through the appropriate legal process.
Provincial Offences and Municipal Bylaw Matters
Do you handle provincial offences or municipal bylaw charges?
Yes. Many people do not realize legal representation is available for these matters. We can review the charge, explain your options, and represent you in the process.
