ABOUT US ............................................................

Siebenga & King has become a corporate partnership of two lawyers. Previously, the partners, David Siebenga and Sanda King, operated two sole practices under the names of David’s Law Office and Whaites & King, respectively. These merged because we have similar goals and philosophies in the practice of law.

David’s Law Office commenced operations in 1991 in Surrey, BC. David Siebenga, with a Commerce Degree from the University of Calgary and his law Degree from the University of B.C. felt that Surrey was a growing market place that could use a law firm whose approach was an attempt to put the client at ease, put the client first and communicate.

David’s Law Office, until 2003 targeted residential real estate and business law. With a background in business (having worked for IBM and a Japanese international land development company) David had unique qualifications to combine our telecommunications environment with our multicultural community in Surrey. In the 13 years of operation, he has served over 10,000 realty transactions, and completed over 500 in lots being subdivided.

Sanda King began operations under the firm name of Whaites & King in the Spring of 2000, having purchased the practice from P. Barry Whaites, who had an emphasis in real estate law and a general solicitor’s practice. Sanda obtained her BA from the University of British Columbia and her law degree from the University of Alberta. After receiving her education in Canada, she was initially called to the bar in the State of Colorado in 1995, where she practiced in the areas of Workers’ Compensation and disability claims. In 1997, she returned to British Columbia and was called to the BC Bar in 1998. She initially practiced in corporate securities and as in-house counsel in the hospitality field in downtown Vancouver, before purchasing the practice in 2000. Having already worked in numerous law firms throughout the lower mainland since 1987 as a legal assistant and conveyancer, and with her past experience as an attorney-at-law, Sanda has been able to use this experience to maintain a law practice with an emphasis in the area of real estate, and currently maintains a general solicitor’s practice, including real estate, wills and estates, probate and corporate law.

After growing the practice in the original Cloverdale location, Sanda opened a second location in Chilliwack, BC in February of 2002, where the main emphasis is real estate law. We are pleased to advise that we are able to offer to clients competitive rates for residential real estate transactions. This location has continued to flourish and was moved from a small one-room office to a new building in January of 2004.

David and Sanda’s attitudes to the practice of law are very similar. They both have a desire to provide legal services to the community in a manner that is smart, approachable, flexible and positive. This is why at Siebenga & King we strive to serve the community with value, performance and excellence.

Today, we are expanding. We currently have four locations (Newton, Cloverdale, Abbotsford, Chilliwack) to serve you and we offer flexible appointment times and home appointments as necessary. We are creative; we can take business ideas and develop financing strategies with you.
