Meet the Faculty
Victoria A. Jones practices primarily in the area of wills and estates.

While Victoria is at home in a court room, she believes strongly in mediation and encourages her clients to explore that option as a method to resolving their legal issues in a more timely and cost effective manner. Victoria has appeared in both the Court of Queen’s Bench and the Court of Appeal of Alberta and she has also appeared at the Supreme Court of Canada. Read more…
