My Law Practice

I am the Managing Partner at CAM LLP. Before joining the firm, my practice focused on general civil litigation, including personal injury claims both as defence counsel and as plaintiff’s counsel. 

My experience as insurance defence counsel means I understand how insurance companies assess, handle and value claims and what needs to be done to put the best case forward for my clients. I have a thorough understanding of the claims process and have years of experience dealing with insurance companies and their lawyers in all stages of the litigation, including settlement negotiations and alternative dispute resolution. 

I have experience in both trial advocacy and alternative dispute resolution, including mediations and judicial dispute resolution. I have represented clients in matters before the Provincial Court, Queen’s Bench, and Court of Appeal. 

My practice experience has included: 

  • Personal injury litigation, including arising from motor vehicle accidents, occupiers’ liability, product liability; 
  • Insurance litigation including defence of claims arising from motor vehicle accidents, professional liability, product liability, occupiers’ liability, and subrogated claims; 
  • General civil litigation including advising on strategic approaches for the prompt and economical resolution of disputes 

I am honoured to have been recognized since 2021 by  Best Lawyers in Canada  for my work in personal injury litigation.

Experience

  • I obtained a Bachelor of Commerce degree in 2005 and a Bachelor of Laws degree  in 2008 from the University of Alberta 
  • I was called to the Alberta Bar in 2009. I worked at a mid-sized local firm and at a global firm prior to joining CAM LLP.
  • I have represented clients before the Provincial Court of Alberta, Court of Queen’s Bench, and Court of Appeal.
  • I have experience in many forms of alternative dispute resolution including mediation and judicial dispute resolution.
  • I am honoured to have been recognized in the 2021 – 2024 editions of Best Lawyers in Canada for my work in personal injury litigation.

My experience being on both sides of a personal injury file means I apply a balanced perspective to your case. You will get an objective assessment of the strengths and weaknesses of your claim.

My goal is to help you feel at ease and confident in my ability to represent you. Part of my approach includes taking the time to fully understand your claim and how your injuries have affected your life and what is important to you as you move towards recovery and resolution of your claim.

With my knowledge of how insurance companies assess, handle and value claims, I will explain to you the litigation process and what needs to be done to put your best case forward.

I will ensure that you understand the litigation process, the steps that need to be taken and why. I will communicate with you in a timely manner and answer any questions you may have and provide all of the information you will need to make appropriate decisions about your claim.

I reached out to Justine Lee after my car accident, and I’m glad I did! She explained the whole process very well and what to expect. She was very professional and kept me informed on every development – excellent communication! Her guidance made the whole process less stressful, and we finalized my case with a great settlement. Her assistant, Kim, was also very helpful throughout the process. I would definitely recommend Justine to my friends and family if they ever need a personal injury lawyer!

Justine is extremely professional and diligent with her time. Her experience in the field creates a reassurance your case will be handled carefully.

I was involved in a car accident in Dec of ‘21. I had multiple dr visits, and still ongoing concerns with my shoulder. When insurance reached out me with their settlement offer of 4 figures, I contacted CAM LLP and worked with Justine Lee, who was able to secure a 6 figure settlement. BIG thanks to Justine and her assistant Kim Degner Taylor for all their work. They were easy going, not pushy and made for an excellent experience (and settelment)! I 10/10 would recommend!!!

I received amazing service from CAM LLP following my MVC. Justine was very thorough and got me appointments with specialists quickly. I strongly recommend them to anyone who has been wrongfully injured.

I sustained injuries in a car accident. I called Lawyer Referral to find a lawyer. When I called, I was connected to Justine. Although with Lawyer Referral you get a half hour consultation, Justine took time to clearly explain the process. The consultation took longer but Justine didn’t rush me off the phone. Justine was able to get a higher settlement for me due to her negotiating skills. She kept close contact when she was in the process of negotiating. With her it was minimal stress with maximum results. I highly recommend her.

CAM LLP has been an amazing firm for us. We started with a now retired lawyer who handed us off to Justine. She has done an absolutely amazing job for us across several injury cases. Yeah, we had a bad few years. They are an amazing team there!

We are sooooo thankful to have found Justine (and Kim ☺️). Our experience has definitely been above and beyond. Justine has been great with keeping us informed and answering all our inquiries. All appointments that were needed were booked pretty quickly, I was shocked how fast we got in for our appointments. I never had any concerns during our legal process and we felt very taken care of.
I don’t think we would have received the same outcome if it wasn’t for Justin’s and Kim’s professionally great work.
I don’t wish to ever be in this position again, but if it does happen, you’ll be the first one I will be contacting.
I can’t thank you enough for everything you have done.

I definitely recommend this great team. You will be taken care of with a stress-free process.

I was rear-ended , and while I had significant pain, I was reluctant to pursue a claim and didn’t expect that I would get anything for it. I thought the most I could hope to get was the value of my vehicle that was totalled. I’m so happy that I went to CAM LLP, and Justine Lee in particular. I am so impressed with the care, professionalism, skill, and responsiveness of everyone involved in my claim. In less than a year, I received a settlement much higher than I expected. I unreservedly recommend anyone who has been injured to reach out to Justine to represent them. She’s truly changed my life. G. MacGregor

My wife and I have had a great experience working with Justine. She has been very professional from the beginning. I talked to other lawyers before, but I couldn’t really feel that sense of honesty like I did from Justine. She wasn’t pushy asking to sign papers right away like others tried to do. Her communication is excellent and very fast. We totally recommend her.

I had the great pleasure of having Justine Lee represent me on my file. Justine is well-prepared and very knowledgeable. This resulted in her being an amazing advocate for me. Due to her efficiency I was able to conclude my file through negotiation, rather than a drawn out process. Above all Justine is a hardworking, tenacious, intelligent and compassionate lawyer who cares about her clients and will fight for the best results. You can also find the same qualities in her assistant, Kim Taylor. Kim was always prompt in responding. Very professional and kind. I would highly recommend her to friends, family and strangers for their personal injury needs.

Justine Lee with CAM LLP is a pleasure to work with. She will work hard to negotiate a fair settlement. The legal team is proactive at keeping a updated and organized file to advocate for you. I also liked the fact that the legal team shelters its clients from some of the nastiness that comes from the defense side – they only share those unpleasant details with you if absolutely necessary, which really reduces the stress during the whole process.

Thank you Justine and Kim!

After working with Justine Lee for almost 4 years, I can confidently say that she is an exceptional and distinguished lawyer who operates with the utmost diligence and expertise. She is kind and approachable, but is also very transparent regarding the legal process. I moved abroad during the middle of my claim and Justine went above and beyond to accommodate the time difference and always made herself available at my convenience. Her unparalleled professionalism, coupled with her profound empathy for those who have been wronged, position her as a leading lawyer. She understood the extent of my struggles post-accident and how greatly my life was affected. Thus, ensuring I received the compensation I deserved. Both Justine and her wonderful assistant Kim are meticulously organized and demonstrated genuine commitment to my claim. Justine is an invaluable asset to the legal community and to anyone who is seeking legal representation for personal injury. Working with her was a stress-free experience and I give her my highest recommendation. Thank you Justine & Kim!

Ten years ago, I sustained a life-altering spinal cord injury resulting in quadriplegia. As an Ontario resident, I began my legal journey with CAM LLP in 2020. I cannot express enough how supported I felt by Bill and his incredible team, including Justine and Amani. In addition to reaching my settlement goal, I felt understood, validated, and empowered to share my thoughts, feelings, and experiences at every step of the legal process. Bill, Justine, and Amani were professional, encouraging, down-to-earth, and superb communicators. From start to finish, I had complete confidence and trust in my team, and I cannot thank them enough for helping me to close this tumultuous chapter of my life. I highly recommend CAM LLP to anyone dealing with a catastrophic injury case, as they work tirelessly and transparently to resolve your matter.

When starting this process, I had contacted many firms and asked about process, cost, expected outcome, etc. All provided general overviews and promised quite a lot, but when I contacted Justine Lee at CAM LLP, she asked many more questions than any others, provided more detail and depth in description of the process, and set what I felt to be very reasonable expectations in a very logical and clearly understood manner. She simply provided a sense of trust, confidence and competence. She was very easy to speak to, and provided no sense of “pressure”. Justine was always in touch, sharing updates, offering opinion and advice. She comes across as very ethical, providing insights from the perspectives of “both sides”, sharing what’s reasonable, what’s likely and more importantly the reasoning behind the opinion. In the final stages, she provided great advice as far as settlement options, with every single prediction coming true. I feel confident that she maximized the value of the settlement, and also that it was fair. There were no surprises in fees, timelines, or process. I would not hesitate, in the least, to highly recommend Justine to anyone dealing with a motor vehicle injury case.

Justine helped me with my MVC claim and she was informative, patient, and supportive during the entire process. She was always available to answer questions and to provide an “easy to understand” update whenever asked. Although COVID really delayed the process, Justine was very thorough in following up whenever necessary. Justine made this entire process a breeze and took a lot of my anxiety and stress away. Would definitely recommend CAM LLP!

Justine Lee was an absolute pleasure to work with! I was able to put my trust in her from our initial consultation. She has timely communication and was professional throughout the process. Due to her referral to a highly qualified medical practitioner, I was finally able to understand how my body was affected by a motor vehicle accident. I highly recommend Justine and I couldn’t have asked for a better person to take my case!

I had an acute inhalation injury from construction dust and toxic mold at my workplace during an office demolition. The highly respected Ms. Francis Zinger took on the case and upon retirement transferred it to Ms. Justine Lee, who did an excellent job of carrying the case through to completion. She was up against four defense lawyers and medical doctors who lack knowledge of mold-related injuries. Justine was able to win fair compensation for me under the circumstances. I fully understand why Justine was recognized by Best Lawyers 2022.

I couldn’t have asked for a better representatives to put forward my claim. Very professional and they take responsibility of your file on each step of they way. All I had to do was sign some papers and on occasions forward some receipts. Also, very responsive, any-times I need any updates, or clarification, they firm was very delinquent to get back to me in a quick timely manner. Over all a wonderful experience, and a special thanks to Justine Lee who was my lawyers through out the 2 years process of this claim. I have already recommended the firm to someone in need, and would do it anytime, someone needs assistance with their claims. Thank you.

It was my pleasure working with this company, Justine the lawyer acting on behalf my myself and my children has been very professionally, extremely communicative and with empathy during all communications throughout our settlement. A Polish friend recommended Justine to me and I do recommend legal great quality, value and very friendly service with this company. When I met with Justine in her office I knew I could trust her and whom exactly I was looking for. Shes been extremely working very hard and most of all there’s been exctitement during our conversations always with great news at the end of the day. I also met with other staff on just a few occasions and they all were very nice to me. I wish I met them all sooner as I needed this kind of help in the past.

Called CAM LLP law firm and spoke with Justine Lee. She was absolutely amazing and was able to lay out all my options clearly and in detail. Very professional and was extremely knowledgeable. Justine answered all my questions and at no time did I feel rushed or not heard. All her answers went above and beyond my questions as I was not aware of the whole process and what questions to ask. Goes without saying that I highly recommend this law firm.

This has been a long but ultimately successful process. During the 4+ yrs of my case I was first in contact with George Somkuti who had diligently pursued my personal injury claim until he retired in Dec. 2018. My case was taken over by Ms. Justine Lee. Throughout the 10 months she handled my claim, if I had any concerns she would explain to me in clear, non-legalese terms the ramifications of the situation. When a person fully understands a situation it not only gives them a feeling of control but also inspires a trust in their lawyer and their advice. That trust is what Ms Lee earned from me. She is intelligent, competent, tenacious, open and willing to share her expertise. She was dedicated to achieving a fair end to my claim and I would highly recommend her as an extremely good personal injury lawyer.

I would definitely recommend CAM LLP law office. Finding a lawyer that would even return my call was a task on its own. A friend recommended the law firm to me. I called and left a message by the next day they returned my call. The first initial contact speaking with the lawyer I explained the situation that occurred and the lawyer explained my options and was willing to take my case. My lawyer Justine always kept me up-to-date and got a fair settlement for myself. Thank you

I was in a car accident last October 2022 and was recommended to reach out to Justine Lee by a family friend. Ms. Justine is very professional and caring, making sure her clients understand the process, what to expect, and what needs to be done before and during the negotiation and settlement stages. She was very quick to provide updates and responses to emails and text messages, and provided her input and recommendations on what is best for her clients needs. I am greatly satisfied with my settlement, and how she handled my MVA claim. Highly recommend Justine Lee and CAM LLP!
