WVGB LAW - Key Persons
Originally from Calgary, Bianca has called the Ottawa area home for over 20 years. She is proud to serve the Ottawa community both through her legal work and through her involvement in various community initiatives.
Bianca completed her undergraduate degree and law school (J.D.) at the University of Ottawa, graduating with distinction from both programs. She was called to the Ontario Bar in 2014 after articling at a full-service Ottawa law firm, with a focus on litigation.
Prior to joining WVG Law Group, Bianca worked at a prominent personal injury law firm in Ottawa. She represented hundreds of clients before administrative tribunals and the Ontario Superior Court of Justice. She has helped many serious accident victims and their families navigate the insurance and legal systems and begin to regain their lives after serious injuries.
Bianca is pleased to serve clients with personal injury claims, insurance disputes and employment matters. She also enjoys assisting clients with the preparation of Wills and advising on contracts.
Outside of work, Bianca enjoys being active outdoors and travelling with her family. She is an amateur photographer who has gone to great lengths (as well as heights and depths) to reconnect with nature and capture the perfect shot. That same patience, persistence and attention to detail make her a natural fit for the practice of law.
