Anna loves the excitement of a trial and will fight with determination to protect our clients’ rights. At the same time, she appreciates the value of a reasonable settlement and will guide clients to the best practical resolution of their claims.
Anna learned from her parents, who immigrated to Canada with very little, the value of hard work and maintaining positivity. She brings these principles to her everyday practice—being determined, resourceful and pursuing individualized practical solutions for each client. This allows our clients to deal with their disputes in a cost-efficient and practical way and get back to conducting their business—which is what they do best.
