I will be your trusted counsel, guiding you through any complex or difficult dispute, to achieve the optimal resolution.

With over 44 years of experience as counsel in litigation and disputes - including the past 25 years focusing on Trusts and Estates cases — Jeff assists clients in resolving matters with negotiation, mediation or, if necessary, litigation - either to a settlement or to a court trial or hearing. 

Called to the bars of Alberta, British Columbia and California, Jeff’s practice in both Canada and California focuses on litigation and alternative dispute resolution (“ADR”) involving all types of Trusts, Wills, Estates, and Probate cases, assisting trustees, executors, beneficiaries, or other parties.  Jeff also handles complex Canadian litigation matters involving securities law, business and corporate matters, construction law and insolvency and restructuring. His numerous cross-border and international matters — and second home in the Palm Springs area in California — motivated Jeff to become a licensed California attorney, able to represent clients on both sides of the border and on Canadian and U.S. matters.

Jeff has successfully represented clients in cases at all levels of Canadian courts in Alberta and British Columbia, as well as Canada’s Federal Court and Supreme Court. In addition to Jeff’s extensive experience representing clients in court, he has significant training and experience in ADR, not only as counsel for parties, but also frequently as a respected neutral mediator in over 50 cases.
