Law firm practicing Family Law and Real Estate

History
The firm was opened in 1980 by Gordon R. Innes. Gordon graduated in 1974 with a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science and History; he completed his law degree at the University of Ottawa in 1978 and was subsequently called to both the Alberta and British Columbia Bars. Gordon was one of the most sought-after experienced counsel in the Peace Country and was appointed the Queen’s Counsel designation for his contribution to the legal profession. He retired from practice in 2012 and continues to mentor with the firm today.
Our Office, Your Family
Our office does our best to make your experience a stress-free process. Although it is often easier to execute documents without children, we appreciate that this is not always an option. As such, our office has a Kid’s Room with toys set up for children who are able to play with no direct supervision.
