Gail J. Swerid, B.M.A, Juris Doctor, Barrister & Solicitor, Mediator, Registered Collaborative Family Lawyer
Background:
I have practiced law in Calgary since 1990 with an emphasis on Family Law, Wills and Estates and Real Estate .
I am a member of the Alberta Family Mediation Society, Association of Collaborative Professionals (Calgary). I am also a Dispute Resolution Officer for the Court of Queen’s Bench of Alberta.
Philosophy:
1. I prefer to assist clients in organizing their legal affairs in a way that prevents future problems. This is a prominent goal
in all 3 areas of my practice, being family law, real estate and wills and estates.
2. I believe that in most family law cases parties are best served when their lawyer assists them to reach fair, out of court settlements.
3. Most people need legal services that are efficient and affordable and I endeavor to give legal advice that will minimize costs and
maximize effective results.
4. Underlying my advice to clients is the belief that children and society are best served by the reduction of conflict within
separating families.
5. Part of the role of a lawyer, is to help the parties deal with each other in a respectful way.
