Judy A. Bachmann

 

Judy has a unique background as both a lawyer and a psychologist. Practising primarily in the area of family law, Judy draws on her experience as a psychologist and mediator in resolving her clients’ issues to more effectively meet the needs and interests of the client within their specific circumstances.

Judy was admitted to the Law Society of Alberta in 1993 and originally practised criminal law in the area of drug prosecutions at the Firm. Judy subsequently obtained a Masters degree in psychology and became a registered psychologist.
