Victoria Foster, BA, JD
LAWYER, ARBITRATOR & MEDIATOR
EMAIL: info@fosterlegalservices.ca
I have a Diploma in Police Studies from Grant MacEwan College, a Bachelor of Professional Arts in Criminal Justice from Athabasca University, and a Juris Doctor from the Schulich School of Law at Dalhousie University. I articled at a downtown law firm in Red Deer, Alberta, and continued my practice in the areas of family and criminal law at the firm until December 2012. I have had experience dealing with all areas of family law, and have had courtroom experience in both the Provincial Court and the Court of Queen's Bench of Alberta.
In January 2013, I embarked on the new and exciting journey of opening my own law practice in Red Deer - Foster Legal Services. My goal in establishing Foster Legal Services was to ensure that all Central Albertans had adequate access to justice, specifically by assisting those people who are self-represented feel confident and competent in their abilities to present their matters before the Court. Courtrooms can be scary places, even for lawyers, and my goal is to assist people in better navigating their way through the entire process.
I am an active, practicing member of the Law Society of Alberta. I am a current member of the Central Alberta Bar Association, the Association of Family and Conciliation Courts, and the Alberta Collaborative Law Association. I also sit on the Human Services Appeals Panel and the Law Enforcement Review Board. My desire to help others and give back to the community has allowed me to act as a volunteer lawyer both with the Central Alberta Community Legal Clinic and the Red Deer Public Schools Community Programs. My pride and joy are my two children, and I love spending time with my family and our dog, exploring new places, going on holiday, and just having fun.
In addition to my traditional legal practice, I also offer mediation and arbitration services and I represent children in child welfare and high conflict family law matters.
