Having arrived in Port Hawkesbury from Saskatchewan in 1972, he and his wife, Lucille, are the proud parents of 4 adult children and they feel strongly that Port Hawkesbury is a great place to raise a family and build a career. He is proud to have played a part in building the reputation of EMM Law Inc. as one of the best firms in Eastern Nova Scotia and to see the firm continuing to provide quality legal services to the Strait Area.


The philosophy of the firm is that it's a privilege to be practicing law, and there's an element of giving back to the community that goes along with the privilege of being a lawyer. We wanted to hire and find lawyers who had interests outside the practice of law, that would generate some benefits back to the community. And I think that, to a great extent, we've been pretty successful in finding those people.
