Legal Counsel

Heath Milo

Heath was called to the Alberta Bar in 2019 and is driven by a commitment to restorative justice and systemic reform. His dedication was sparked by studying the history of Treaty 7 First Nations and recognizing the stark overrepresentation of Indigenous persons within the Canadian criminal justice system.

Heath adopts a deeply client-focused approach, viewing legal advocacy as a two-way street of representation and learning. By listening to the lived experiences of those he serves, he seeks to bridge the gap between legal defense and cultural understanding.

​

Heath centres his personal life around his family and finds inspiration every day from his two daughters.
