Your Trusted Edmonton Legal Partner for Real Estate, Estate Planning & Corporate Law
97th Street Law was established to provide quality legal services to Edmonton area clients, particularly those on Edmonton's north side. Founded in 1974 by Larry Sitko, the firm has served the community for over five decades.

Our practice combines extensive experience in real estate transactions, estate planning, and corporate law with a commitment to practical solutions. We prioritize clear communication, ensuring clients understand complex legal processes while protecting their interests. With over 35 years of experience in real estate law, we help clients navigate home purchases, commercial transactions, and property development.

Our estate planning services address wills, powers of attorney, and tax-efficient asset transfers, serving approximately 70% of Canadian adults who lack proper estate documentation. In corporate law, we advise on business structures, mergers, and contractual agreements. Our notary services include document certification and travel authorizations. We maintain strong community ties through charitable involvement and offer personalized service that larger firms often lack.
