Family Law, Housing/Landlord-Tenant

About:

Kelowna continues to be one of the fastest-growing cities in Canada, according to census numbers released in early 2017. For those who live in the Okanagan, this likely comes as no surprise. Warm summers, glorious scenery, affordable housing, and short commutes – not to mention widespread job opportunities –make Kelowna a highly desirable place to put down roots. As such, they need and deserve local resources that help them flourish alongside their community. Even families that are experiencing separation and divorce have the opportunity to thrive – so long as they are supported in a comprehensive, integrated way.

"I highly recommend Ms. Argueta to anyone going through a divorce and in need of a highly skilled, compassionate family lawyer. She is very very knowledgeable but at the same time very patient - taking time to ensure I understood the process every step of the way, as well as answering any and all questions I had. Her settlement-focused approach helped ease a difficult situation from dragging on longer than needed. Thanks to her experience and expertise, I was able to reach a quick settlement successfully!"

"In 2023, I required the services of a lawyer. Ms. Chalkley came highly recommended and from the very start I was not disappointed with the services she provided. I was impressed with her for a number of reasons. First of all Ms. Chalked was prompt in returning my calls or responding to my emails, even when she was on vacation. She provided me with information and options that were clear and easy to understand. The pros and cons of every action was provided with the corresponding possible outcomes and pitfalls. Within 2 months of my separation a visitation schedule was established, 10 months later a Co-Parenting Agreement was in place and now my divorce to be finalized within a few weeks. Ms. Chalkley made a very difficult and emotional situation for me bearable. She acted in my best interest to ensure my rights as a dad were safe guarded. I will always be grateful for her assistance."
