My current practice at CAM LLP is focused primarily on representing injured people and helping them navigate the medical, financial and legal consequences of a serious injury. I have extensive experience representing people injured in motor vehicle accidents and other incidents, including clients dealing with chronic pain, orthopedic injuries, brain injuries, psychological injuries, loss of income and significant future care needs.

One of the things I enjoy most about personal injury law is that every client and every case is different. A significant part of my practice involves understanding complex medical evidence and working with physicians, rehabilitation professionals and other experts to understand not only a client’s diagnosis, but how an injury has affected their work, family life and day-to-day functioning.

I have represented clients through all stages of the litigation process, including questioning, mediation and settlement negotiations. I particularly enjoy the strategic side of litigation and determining what evidence is needed to properly present a claim and what approach is most likely to achieve a fair result.

In addition to personal injury law, I have experience advising and representing clients in insurance disputes, employment law matters for both employees and employers and professional negligence claims (lawyers, engineers, real estate agents, and various trades).

Experience

  • BA (Psychology), Concordia University of Edmonton
  • LLB, University of Alberta, 2009
  • Called to the Alberta Bar in 2010.
  • I began my legal career practising insurance defence litigation, representing insurers and insured defendants in personal injury and other insurance-related claims. That experience gave me a strong understanding of how insurers assess, defend and resolve claims, and continues to inform the strategic advice I provide to my clients today.
  • I have extensive experience in personal injury litigation, representing clients who have suffered serious and complex injuries, including traumatic brain injuries, chronic pain, orthopedic injuries, psychological injuries and other conditions that can significantly affect a person’s ability to work and function in their day-to-day life.
  • My work regularly involves complex medical and expert evidence, including claims involving future care needs, loss of income and earning capacity, and the long-term consequences of injury. I work closely with medical specialists, rehabilitation professionals and other experts to ensure the full impact of an injury is properly understood and presented.
  • I have represented clients at all stages of litigation, including questioning, applications, mediations and settlement negotiations, and have appeared before the Alberta Court of Justice (formerly the Provincial Court of Alberta) and the Court of King’s Bench of Alberta.

My approach with clients is direct and practical. I think it is important that clients understand both the strengths of their case and the factors that may affect its value or outcome. Personal injury claims can take years to resolve, and clients should understand what is happening, why a particular step is being taken and what their options are along the way.

Similarly, employment law matters and insurance claims follow their own processes and I take the time to make sure my clients have full information at each stage of the process. My goal is to ensure my clients are in the best possible position to make sound decisions about their options.

While I am prepared to litigate when necessary, I also believe that a good result does not always require a prolonged fight. A well-prepared case, a realistic assessment of the evidence and thoughtful negotiation can often lead to a better and more efficient resolution for the client.

I’m an Insurance agent who specializes in home and auto Insurance with Allstate Insurance. I’ve known Faye for a number of years, as she personally sent me a client. That Client raved about how great Faye was to deal with and how much she helped him through the process and cared about him getting proper insurance coverage. Soon After I sent one of my clients that was involved in an accident to Faye and I received the same feedback! Since then I’ve sent her friends and even my own brother. So with confidence I know Faye stands out among others

Faye Garries was the first lawyer I had ever obtained. Faye offered a lot of insight and knowledge. She encouraged me to fight for my claim and went above and beyond. I recommend her because she has so much passion and compassion. Faye was easygoing and professional and never gave up on my case and fought for me until we had exhausted our resources. I am very happy about the outcome from working with Faye which was far more than I had ever expected. Working with Faye was stress free and I can’t thank or recommend her enough.
