Good morning!

RE: District 5 Law Chambers Hosting Free Landlord & Tenant Legal Seminar on November 24, 2021.

COVID-19 has led to many people losing their jobs or being in financial positions that have them falling behind on bills. One of the most common results of this is a dispute between landlords and tenants.

The other problem members of the public face is that the cost of going to court for these matters, often outweighs the amount that is being recovered.

In an effort to educate members of the community, District 5 Law Chambers will be hosting an inivitation only legal seminar. The purpose of this seminar to educate members on crucial remedies under the Residential Tenancies Act of Alberta.

To sign up for this free seminar hosted by a practicing lawyer scheduled for November 24th at 7pm, email your name and email address to [email protected], and you will be sent a link to log on to the meeting.

Space is limited, and we cannot answer specific questions regarding ongoing legal matters.

For Immediate Release: Calgary Lawyer Changing How Clients Access Law Firms

One of the biggest, and arguably most time consuming aspects of Legal Practice is client access to materials, and the progress of civil litigation matters, which can quite literally take years to resolve. Our firm has implemented a pilot-project for my firm which includes instant access to the entire client file. This ”client portal” will:

- be a live feed from our firm, pertaining to your matter.

- allow our clients to be able to see the next task on their matter, and who it is assigned to.

- allow our clients to have real time access to their file at all times.

- be fully encrypted, and much safer than email.

I’m excited to put this project in motion, and look forward to seeing the results. The project will run indefinitely, and will be reviewed with client feedback in early 2022.
