Derek Novosel
Articling Student
For most of his life, the inkling of an interest in law has resided in the back of Derek’s mind; over time this interest grew, and, encouraged by spending a few winters working out of doors as a carpenter, eventually spurred him on to university. After spending a few years reading philosophy, he began to study law at the University of Manitoba. Derek is excited to be articling with Visionary Law and is looking forward to cutting his teeth as a lawyer on the challenges and learning opportunities that abound in the field of family law. He is hopeful that his work will allow him to have a positive and measurable impact on the lives of his clients and their families.
When not at the office, Derek can be found spending time with his wife and children. He lives to read and enjoys keeping active and spending time out of doors: in the garden or further afield, hiking, fishing, or camping in some far off and uncivilized place. On those rare occasions when he is without a book in his hands, he may also be found at the piano, cooking, or puttering on various projects, trying to keep his old carpentry skills from getting too rusty.
My child support case was open in June 2016. It was very complicated because both the Canadian Law and International Law were involved. My lawyer Nikki A. Evans had to work with more than 400 sheets of evidence. She had to go to court with a big wheel suitcase full of my documents. Before her, the case was conducted by three other lawyers who either made a lot of errors or did nothing and only wasted precious time. After those three lawyers’ failed work, Nikki A. Evans actually had to start my case from scratch when I first approached her in 2019. I am happy that I have found her. She is a very intelligent and competent lawyer, a professional of the highest degree, capable of solving the most difficult legal problems in the interests of her client. She is a very sweet, kind, and friendly person with whom it is such a pleasure to communicate.
My lawyer was always in touch, quickly and competently answered all my emails and questions, and spoke flawlessly at court hearings. At one of the hearings, the judge highlighted the excellent work of my lawyer and her boss, which is the best evaluation. Thanks to my own account on the company's website, I could see all my case documents. At the same time, I always knew precisely for what specific work I was paying; I received detailed reports along with each invoice from my lawyer. The work is really well done.
My lawyer won the case in court with the best result for me and my children. The court transferred my ex-husband's real estate ownership under my name to pay off his debt to me and my children. I am very happy and endlessly grateful to my lawyer Nikki and her boss Lillian for the work done. I consider the company Visionary Low to be the best choice for any family law issue.
