"The first duty of a lawyer is to have knowledge of the law, because people rely on lawyers’ opinions at maybe the darkest periods in their lives. But as a lawyer, apart from knowing the law and applying the law, I also possess that humane feeling and people usually should see that I care about them."
Serving clients throughout Alberta, Emmanuel brings a wealth of experience from his previous practice. He is currently advancing his legal expertise through a Professional LL.M. in Constitutional Law at Osgoode Hall Law School, Toronto. His dedication to community welfare is apparent in his role as a Board Director at End Sexual Violence NL, providing strategic oversight and advocacy for survivors of abuse.
