Family Lawyers Edmonton
We provide services beyond what a law firm can provide. Alberta Separation was developed by practicing and former lawyers to fulfill a gap in the legal consulting and family law practice industry throughout Edmonton and the rest of Alberta. We recognized that when clients seek legal information, generally they reach law firms after searching for help online. Through our many decades of combined experience running and working for law firms, we know that law firms and lawyers generally operate to secure retainers.
