Meet Alex

My connection to family law comes from a deeply personal experience. During early years of my law practice, my sister went through a divorce. While supporting her, I experienced firsthand the emotional, psychological, and social implications of divorce. From that point on, I was determined to dedicate my practice to family law. I want to help clients through some of the most vulnerable times in their lives, and I understand the far-reaching impact of the legal process. I know that family law clients value supportive and trusted counsel, and I strive to provide exactly that.

I was first called to the Alberta Bar in 2019 and to the British Columbia Bar in 2021. I received legal education at Peking University and the University of Alberta. With a cross-cultural background and international connections, I am well-equipped to assist clients whose matters involve international elements. My work often involves complex matters such as family business valuations, multiple properties, income determinations, and child or spousal support.

Over the years, I have developed a diverse range of skills in family law, real estate law, immigration law, and estate planning. This broader perspective allows me to identify potential issues that may affect clients beyond the immediate family law dispute. I take a proactive approach, offering advice designed to prevent unexpected challenges or future litigation.

I use an empathetic approach in my practice, always making my clients’ best interests my priority. I take the time to understand their perspectives and concerns so that I can meet their needs in the most effective way possible. I am committed to finding timely solutions with care and sensitivity, and I believe in empowering clients with knowledge so that they can make informed decisions. Informed decision-making helps foster financial stability, long-term happiness, and peace of mind.

Having extensive experience before the Supreme Court of British Columbia and Provincial Court of British Columbia, has shaped my belief in the importance of resolution-focused practice. I recognize the emotional and financial strain litigation places on families, and wherever possible, I work to de-escalate conflict and guide clients toward practical, negotiated, and mediated outcomes. When litigation is necessary, I am a tenacious advocate, representing my clients’ interests with skill and dedication.

Outside of my practice, I enjoy traveling and reading, staying active through running and swimming, and spending quality time with family and friends. At the end of the day, I often like to unwind with a walk around the neighbourhood.
