The skills that Stephanie developed as a criminal lawyer translate well to other areas of law, and in recent years, Stephanie has put her advocacy skills to work for clients in the areas of civil litigation and family law.  When appropriate, Stephanie believes in resolving matters collaborativly and without the costly expense of litigating in court.  When resolution is not possible however, Stephanie's courtroom skills serve well in all areas of contested litigation.

​

Stephanie is an active member in good standing with both the Law Societies of Alberta and Saskatchewan.  She is also a member of the Criminal Trial Lawyer's Association.
