Prior to joining FC&Z, Maria practiced at a full-service law firm in downtown Calgary where she gained exposure to various areas of law. She has been involved in numerous court applications, mediations, JDRs, settlement meetings, EICCs, drafted briefs of law, research memos, opinion letters, separation agreements, concise letters and attending court for her clients in both Provincial Court as well as Court of King’s Bench. Maria is passionate about family law and takes a practical and compassionate approach to resolving disputes. She believes that the most effective way to assist her clients and achieving their desired results is to minimize conflict using mediation or alternative dispute resolution methods. However, Maria also understands that in certain situations, court intervention is required, and she is a strong advocate with excellent litigation experience.
