In Fiona’s Own Words:
“I choose to believe that all problems can be solved. For most people, conflict on some level is inevitable during their lifetime, and it arises in different, often unexpected ways. Some people are comfortable with the discomfort that conflict brings, while others are not. I help clients navigate the uncomfortable and often high-conflict circumstances that can otherwise consume them. I calmly and practically guide clients through their options and toward resolution.
My files are rooted in the intricacies of my clients’ lives, and no two are alike. I take the time to listen, understand each client’s story, ensure that they feel heard, and assist them as effectively as I can. I respect and acknowledge the emotional layers that accompany many conflicts, while remaining focused on the issues relevant to reaching a resolution. Throughout my career at Duncan Craig LLP, I have been fortunate to work with and learn from experienced lawyers in my areas of practice. I am grateful for the opportunity to continue assisting clients and contributing to the Edmonton community.”
Fiona has appeared before the Provincial Court of Alberta and the Alberta Court of King’s Bench, and has conducted hearings before the Surface Rights Board.
