The Delta Law Office has added a new location in Tsawwassen.
The law firm is taking over the space from retiring lawyer Robert Stasiuk.
"We're just continuing on for him," said lawyer Murray Lott.
The expansion marks a return to the firm's roots.
Almost 60 years ago, when Herb and Boyd Ivens started the legal firm that was to become Delta Law Office, most of their work was in Ladner. With the opening of the George Massey Tunnel in 1959, the population of Tsawwassen started to grow, and Boyd moved south to set up a branch office. The Ivens brothers continued in partnership until Herb died in 1983.
Now the law firm once again has offices in both communities.
"We're going to be doing renovations over the summer. Our official grand opening will be in the middle of September," said Lott.
With modern office technology such as real time chat and document scanning, it is much easier now to operate two offices as one, he said, adding legal documents, correspondence and accounting data are stored on a secure central server accessible from either office.
Two of the firm's lawyers, Lott and Lindy Mathesius, along with several staff, are residents of Tsawwassen and active members of both communities.
The firm will continue to offer the same community-based services it does now, including real estate, wills, estates, family matters and personal injury.
The Delta Law Office's main office is at 4873 Delta St., Ladner, and can be reached at 604-946-2199. The new office is at 2031205-56th St., Tsawwassen, and can be reached at 604943-8272.
