“I enjoy helping people and giving them a voice to navigate the legal challenges of their case. I strongly believe that people should be treated fairly and with respect and dignity.”

ABOUT

Krista has been resolving disputes for her clients for over 15 years. Her practice focuses on personal injury and ICBC claims, disputes related to wills and estates, and helping people who have been unfairly denied an insurance claim.  Krista is committed to providing the highest quality of service, and values the confidence granted by clients.

Krista does not shy away from a challenge.  She is both strategic and engaging and gets involved in every stage of a claim and manages the litigation process – from investigating and coordinating rehabilitation and medical benefits, to consulting with executors and beneficiaries.  For Krista, legal strategy and solutions are always top of mind.  While she represents clients at all levels of court in British Columbia—Provincial Court, Supreme Court and the Court of Appeal—as well as before administrative tribunals, Krista is a highly skilled negotiator and many of her claims are settled out of court.

Krista’s unique set of qualities earned her Georgia Straight’s “Best Lawyer When an Accident Strikes” five years in a row in their annual “Best of Vancouver” edition. She’s also been voted, “#1 lawyer in Vancouver” in the Vancouver Courier’s “Stars of Vancouver 2018”.

Krista leads many of the firm’s professional development initiatives as well as its articling student programme.  She is a past President of the Trial Lawyers Association of BC and frequently speaks at professional conferences.

“After my accident Krista and her team took a lot of pressure off of me dealing with ICBC and ensuring I was getting physio and rehab without any out of pocket expenses. They guided me through the process and consulted with me regularly to make sure I understood my options. Ultimately they negotiated a fair settlement for me and I was glad not to have to go through the inconvenience of a trial.”
