He was the lawyer presenter of the Alberta Justice High Conflict Parenting After Separation Course for eight years.  He served as Chairman of the Legal Aid Regional Committee and later served on the Northern Appeals Committee of Legal Aid.  With this solid background, Tony’s approach is always to “keep the temperature down”, and work with clients to achieve a fair resolution without resorting to the Courts.
