Services
Since 1963, the law firm of Porter Ramsay LLP has provided legal services to clients in Kelowna and the Okanagan Valley. Over 50 years later, we are proud to have built a reputable practice in which our lawyers are well-known as trusted legal advisors. We have built enduring relationships with many of our clients with the intention of becoming their go-to firm as new legal needs arise.
Having a will is a great first step in creating an estate plan. If you have drafted a will, you likely had your loved ones in mind. Your motivation may have included ensuring your family would fairly distribute your assets without the confusion of an intestate. A married couple who realizes their union no longer works may decide, after much soul searching, to file for divorce.
When going through divorce or separation, individuals embark on a difficult legal journey. They experience the emotional issues related to the end of a relationship or family unit. At the same time, they deal with complex legal issues such as division of property, parenting time of children, spousal or child support.
When buying or selling property, it's important to have competent, professional and affordable legal advice. The lawyers at Porter Ramsay LLP have spent over five decades assisting clients with buying and selling residential and commercial properties and property developments. We can provide experienced legal guidance to identify problems early on and minimize the risk of future litigation.
Being involved in a car or motorcycle crash can leave you financially vulnerable and unsure of your next steps. In the aftermath of an accident, your employment and health may be at stake and you likely need compensation for your injuries. Once you open a claim with the Insurance Corporation of British Columbia, you are exposed to a complex process while also facing health and financial issues.

I was referred to Don Wilkinson by my father and actually ended up meeting with April Wilkinson. She handled my family's residential real estate sale and was so professional and kind and clear and made the whole process seamless for us. I would use them again any time, and Deidra was so lovely to communicate with, working with this team was actually the best part of a frustrating property sale for my family.

Fantastic law firm to deal with. I did a real estate purchase/ land title transfer with them. Service was great. My transaction was last minute and time was of the essence. I really appreciate their flexibility and ability to put me at ease. They handled this very efficiently and effectively. Would highly recommend Chris Wendell and his team. Thank you very much.

Horrible experience!! Got charged $3000 for what I believe was maybe 3 hrs of work. Gave very bad advice and didn't even know the court date or my name.. I would not recommend them to anyone, save your money represent yourself you'll do a better job!

Worst experience of my life!! Think the hourly rate must be $800 a hour. When they say lawyers are the worst I didn't not believe it till my experience with David Frenchette!! Do yourself a favor and go anywhere else!!

I think rating a lawyer is difficult, but I have worked with Chris Wendell and his team on at least half a dozen real estate deals and personal items. Always nice to deal with and great response times.
