Ralph Krikke

Biography

Ralph Krikke is an experienced litigator, having spent over 20 years advocating for clients in family law cases, contentious estate matters, real property disputes and foreclosures. Ralph also has a particular passion for addressing the legal issues confronting LGBTQ2+ communities.

Ralph’s commitment to a true client-centered approach involves a thorough evaluation of all aspects of a case. While he boasts extensive courtroom experience, he also emphasizes the importance of creative and practical solutions and seeks to minimize conflict wherever possible by encouraging alternative dispute resolution methods when they better serve the needs of his clients.

His advocacy extends throughout the Lower Mainland, where he has successfully navigated complex legal issues. Ralph has also served as counsel for the Minister under the Employment and Assistance Act, counsel for the Ministry of Children and Family Development, and as amicus curiae for court applications under the Interjurisdictional Support Orders Act.

During his time as a law student, Ralph contributed to the Innocence Project at Osgoode Hall Law School. In that capacity, he investigated claims of wrongful conviction and played a pivotal role in co-writing a successful application to the Minister of Justice under the then section 690 of the Criminal Code of Canada. This early experience shaped his commitment to justice and fairness within the legal system.

Ralph practiced for many years with Peterson Stark Scott until that firm joined forces with Hamilton Duncan in early 2024. As associate counsel with the firm, Ralph continues to employ his analytical, holistic and client-centered approach as well as his effective advocacy skills to achieve the best possible outcomes for his clients.
