I'm grateful for all the women who created the opportunities for females to practice law in Canada, and those who continue to be trailblazers in this industry today. I'm also grateful for all my clients who've continued to support my practice and my team that believes in my vision as well. BUT, we still have a long way to go for women working in Law. This is why I will continue advocating for females in this industry. ... - #FemaleLawyer #Canada #WomenInLaw #Edmonton #Calgary See more

I was shocked, but not totally surprised when I read that only half of Canadians have a will. This made me curious about conducting my own poll. If you are over the age of 18, I'm curious, do you have a will? Comment Yes or No below, and if you feel like sharing your age range too, that would be great. ... Often, many of us think about writing a will when we are older, with many young families not having anything to protect themselves or their kids. At McGuiness Law, we are on a mission to change that. . . . #WillWriting #willwritingservice #Alberta #Canada

5 people you should give your personal directive to. Once your directive is written and signed by witnesses, it is highly suggested that you give a copy to the following people: 1. Yourself! Make sure to store it in a safe place and let your agents or family/friends know where it is located in case they need to access it quickly.... 2. Your agent(s). These are the people you appointed to make decisions on your behalf. 3. Your lawyer. It’s suggested that your lawyer keeps the original copy with specific instructions about when to release it. 4. Your Physician. Particularly important if you have a known medical illness. 5. Register your directive with Alberta’s Personal Directives Registry. In doing so, health care professionals can see that you have a personal directive and can contact your agents. Do you need help writing a personal directive?

With so many different personal injury lawyers in Alberta, how do you decide WHO will best represent you and your case? By doing some research and asking these 3 questions to your potential lawyer: 1. Can you tell me about your experience working on a similar type of case, and what was the outcome?... Having a lawyer who has handled cases similar to yours can often save you time and money. 2. Based on my case, what are the likely outcomes? Although lawyers are not fortune tellers, they should be able to give you an honest assessment. By asking a few different lawyer's opinions, you can get an idea of which are genuinely on your side. 3. What are your fees, and how do I pay? Knowing a lawyer's fees upfront as well as how your lawyer gets compensated is important. Some lawyers are paid on a contingency basis, while others may charge an hourly rate or a combination of the two. At McGuiness Law, we offer free consultations and assessments. Honesty and transparency are part of our core values. Our team has enough experience to tell you if working with a lawyer is truly a good idea or not.

3 Reasons Why You Should Hire a Female Lawyer 1. Your lawyer will know your health history. If you were injured in a motor vehicle accident, your lawyer would review your medical records. Many people are more comfortable with having a female read this personal information. ... 2. Your lawyer may need to discuss highly sensitive topics (i.e. childhood abuse, domestic violence, or sexual assault) with you. For many victims of crime cases (both male and female), they are often more comfortable speaking to a woman about these sensitive matters. 3. Cooperation is often the most successful strategy. Many people imagine the best lawyers to be aggressive in the courtroom, but this is a myth. In the actual practice of law, it is collaboration and communication that often achieve the best results. If you are looking to be represented by a female lawyer, contact McGuiness Law today. We pride ourselves on being one of the few all-female law firms in Alberta.

We are so grateful to be Canadian. Today, we take a moment to remember all of the men and women that sacrificed and continue to sacrifice their lives so that we can be free. Lest We Forget!... #RemembranceDay #Canada #LestWeForget

"I want to pay more for auto-insurance" - said no Albertan, ever! The Government of Alberta is giving the no-fault auto insurance system another look. Why? ... Multinational insurance companies are pushing the Government to shift to this new system because no-fault schemes save them money. They claim that this system will pass on any savings to consumers. But is this true? Let's look at Ontario, for example. Ontarians have a private, no-fault insurance system, and they pay more for auto insurance compared to anyone in Canada. When Albertans voted for Conservatives, they did not vote for higher auto insurance premiums. Tap that "like" button if you are saying No Thanks to No-Fault. https://fairalbertainjuryregulations.ca/no-fault-auto-ins/

Ontario is the only province in Canada with a private no-fault insurance system. Consumers there pay more for auto insurance than anyone else in Canada. This is the same system that the Alberta Government is proposing. With a No-Fault System, Albertans will likely pay higher premiums and experience lower protection. Who wins in this situation? The Insurance Companies. For more details about these changes, visit: http://bit.ly/NoFaultInsuranceNoGo
