About CM Lawyers
CM Lawyers is a law firm with offices in Vernon, Salmon Arm, Enderby, and Abbotsford, serving clients across British Columbia's North Okanagan and Fraser Valley regions. Kevin Cherkowski and Karl Marsden established the firm in 2017 to focus on real estate, wills and estates, and business law, and the firm has since grown to eight lawyers and one NCA candidate who also practice family law and litigation.
Marsden brought decades of experience to the new firm, having been called to the bar in 1981. Cherkowski's practice focuses on acting for real estate agents and brokerages, and on banking work for financial institutions and private lenders. The Salmon Arm office is led by a partner who grew up in that community, studied at the University of Victoria, and returned home after practicing corporate and real estate law in Vancouver. CM Lawyers describes its lawyers' combined experience as more than 100 years, and presents itself as a "suit-free," client-first practice across its four locations.
