Ese is a dedicated Family lawyer with a strong passion for problem-solving and helping families find efficient, peaceful resolutions to their disputes. After earning her law degree from Benson Idahosa University in 2011, She was called to the Nigerian Bar Association, where she practiced across various areas of law. In 2022, she became a member of the Alberta Law Society after completing her articles in November 2021. Since then, she has focused exclusively on Family Law.
Ese is a passionate advocate, committed to helping clients find reasonable resolution to disputes. Ese does not shy away from the Court room where necessary, however, as a Registered collaborative Family Lawyer, her approach is to keep families out of court whenever possible, minimizing conflict which allows her to reduce both stress and costs for her clients.
Ese understands the emotional toll divorce can take, and she strives to guide her clients toward the bigger picture, helping them navigate these challenges with resolution in mind. Above all, Ese strongly believes that family lawyers have an ethical responsibility to “do no harm,” especially when children are caught in the middle of these difficult situations.
In her spare time, she enjoys spending time with family and friends, volunteering and travelling.
