  • Financial & Estate Planning

    We understand planning for end of life care and what happens afterwards is overwhelming. Have peace of mind knowing your desires will be met. 


    When planning for end of life care and what should happen afterwards there are a number of considerations any person should make.  Their family, financial, and legal status as well as personal beliefs will dictate what an appropriate end of life plan will look like.  Our estate planning lawyers have considerable expertise in working with clients to review circumstances and develop a plan that will best meet their needs.  When we sit down with a client it is to discuss their ultimate goals.  Once that is determined, we create a plan, with the client that will best accomplish their needs.  This may include any combination of wills, trusts, powers of attorney, representation agreements and advance directives.  Throughout the consultation and drafting process, we provide clients with time and cost estimates to create their plan and we modify these as necessary.

  • Estate Administration

    We know that carrying out someone's last wishes can be full of questions and uncertainty. We can help give you clarity and walk you through the process. 


     It is a highly emotional time and everyone reacts differently when faced with the reality of death.  We are experienced in dealing with the various emotions and issues that can arise and how to help resolve them.


    Probate is the process that is followed when the deceased had a will whereas Estate Administration is the process that is followed when there is no will.  In both cases there are very specific rules and procedures to be followed to wrap up the affairs of the deceased.  Some assets can be dealt with prior to finalizing the estate while others will be frozen pending the appointment of a Personal Representative.  Regardless of the process that needs to be followed our experienced estate advisors can walk you through the process and provide legal and practical advice about how to proceed.


    As we know that the assets of the deceased are typically frozen and they are the funds to be used to pay legal fees we typically do not require a retainer for estate matters.

  • Family Mediation

    Unlike the court system, which is oppositional by nature, mediation gives people a collaborative path forward where they have more control over the outcome of their disputes while simultaneously providing them with privacy over sensitive matters. The goal of mediation is for the parties to reach a fair and durable settlement that will meet each party’s long-term goals while simultaneously avoiding the expense, stress, and time associated with the court system.


    Reaching an agreement on important issues when communication has broken down is difficult. Mediation can help.

    A lot of injured people seem to think that ICBC represents them. This is not true.

    If you have a personal injury matter (car accident or slip and fall) please make an appointment to see one of our personal injury lawyers. We are committed to assisting you with your claims in a cost effective, professional and caring manner. We represent you.

  • Collections

    If someone owes you money, you are now in the position of being the creditor. As a creditor, you must act on and take steps to collect your money from the debtor.

If you're looking to incorporate a business and are considering using Campbell River Lawyers, just go ahead and give them a call, they are awesome. Don't even think twice, this is your new legal team!

Due to my very busy schedule, I was having a tough time nailing down a legal appointment and finding a company that was flexible to my schedule. Campbell River Lawyers accommodated me really well and managed most of the process online which worked perfectly for me!

I found them to be reliable, getting documents ready on the timeline they suggested. I felt that they were extremely knowledgeable and made suggestions with the setup of my corporation that gave me flexibility and protected my interests. From start to finish, the process was great, they didn't miss a beat (and even reminded me of things I needed to do when I got a little busy and might have taken longer to do my stuff than I should have).

If the quality of any company is found in the quality of its people, Stewart and the team at Campbell River Lawyers are the people you want to deal with. Also, a huge shoutout to Vicki as she helped me figure everything out as I was moving across the country!
