Meet Our Team of Kelowna Lawyers

Marty obtained his Bachelor of Laws degree from the University of British Columbia in May 1977. Marty received invaluable experience and advice from the top British Columbia trial lawyers of the time while working for the firms of Braidwood Nuttal and McKenzie Brewer in Vancouver.

In 1979, Marty relocated with his family to the Okanagan Valley, where he sought to learn his trade, and worked with the Provincial Crown as a prosecutor. After 3 years, Marty left the public service and has since excelled in his own private practice.

His extensive knowledge and experience in the areas of Personal Injury, Criminal Law and Civil Law are a benefit to all who seek his counsel.
