Plessa walden, ASSOCIATE| 604.524.9940 EXT |pwalden@pgslaw.ca
Plessa has been an associate with PGS since joining the firm in 2023. She joined the firm after articling and practicing personal injury defence with the Insurance Corporation of British Columbia. While experienced in civil insurance defence, Plessa's passion has always been to help individuals and families cooperatively resolve their family disputes. While in law school, she volunteered on the family law team for her local community legal aid society, and as a student lawyer with Rise Women's Legal Centre.
Plessa practices both family and child protection law and represents clients at both the Supreme and Provincial Court levels. She is also committed to representing clients in mediations and arbitrations and encourages all her clients to pursue alternative dispute resolution where appropriate.
She has specific experience assisting clients surviving family violence, and living in vulnerable circumstances which has helped her develop a trauma-informed, fact-based, and holistic approach to her practice. It is her goal for you to feel informed and at the reins of your family law matter.
In her free time, Plessa enjoys watching cartoons, spending time with her Pekingese dog, Nori, and relaxing in nature.
