Your Family matters
Sara Reznik
Lawyer
What began as an idle interest in
watching Law and Order as a child, turned into a driving need for Sara to know
more about the law and the legal process as a whole. During her articling year, Sara is learning the
impact the law has on the lives of families and the impact a person’s choice to
be cooperative, or not, has on the overall result and attendant cost. Even
though she is still an articling-student, clients are already benefitting from Sara’s
easy communication style and desire to ensure they stay fully informed on the
progress of their file.
Sara is coming to appreciate the
tremendous responsibility that comes with being a lawyer and the importance of
trust between lawyer and client; not only are lawyers privy to extremely
sensitive and personal information but the lawyer is being trusted to provide
advice that will impact on the client’s life in a profound way.
For Sara, being client-focused means
that she is mindful not only of the expectation all clients have, namely to
have their matter dealt with in a timely manner, be treated professionally, and
to be kept informed, but to also recognize that each client is an individual
and has their own unique needs.
An appreciation for uniqueness of
cultures is also what drives Sara to want to return to Europe and learn about
all the historical structures and local cuisine, so long as she can avoid
mayonnaise and all milk products. What Sara
won’t be avoiding is fruit as it is her “go-to” food but she’ll have to take a
brief detour from Europe, however, if she wants to enjoy her No. 1 favorite –
Dragon Fruit!
Visionary
Inspiration
Supreme Court Justice Beverley
McLachlin is the visionary that has had the most impact on Sara because of her
belief that the law, when providing protections and imposing obligations on all
members of society equally, provides society the necessary foundation to
progress into the future.
