After my car accident near West Edmonton Mall last year, I felt overwhelmed with the thought of navigating through insurance claims and potential legal battles. That's when I came across Kathy Briere. From our first meeting, Kathy's expertise in personal injury law was evident, but it was her compassion and dedication that truly set her apart. She meticulously handled my case, from the initial filings to the final settlement negotiations, ensuring I was comfortable and informed at every step.

Kathy's approach was incredibly thorough. She not only advocated for my rights with the insurance company but also connected me with healthcare professionals to support my recovery. Her network within the Edmonton healthcare community was a testament to her extensive experience and dedication to her clients' well-being.

What really impressed me about Kathy was her commitment to seeking the best possible outcome for me, without the stress of going to court. Her skills in alternative dispute resolution were remarkable. I learned she was trained in mediation at Harvard, which clearly showed in the way she handled my case, focusing on efficient and amicable solutions.

Despite the complexity of my case, involving multiple injuries and long-term recovery, Kathy fought tirelessly. Her reputation with insurers as a fair but firm advocate certainly worked in my favor, leading to a settlement that far exceeded my expectations.

Working with Kathy Briere and experiencing her unwavering support and expertise was a beacon of hope during one of the most challenging times of my life. Her professionalism, coupled with genuine care for her clients, makes her an exceptional lawyer in Edmonton. For anyone facing the daunting aftermath of an accident, I can't recommend Kathy enough. She not only helped me navigate through the legal maze but also played a crucial role in my journey towards healing and recovery.
