CEMJ Law Corporation

About CEMJ Law Corporation

CEMJ Law Corporation is a small litigation firm based in Kamloops, British Columbia, serving clients across the BC Interior. It's run by Cameron E. Matthee-Johnson, a Barrister and Solicitor who spent more than 15 years in hotel, restaurant, and retail management before returning to school, completing a Bachelor of Arts (Honours) degree in 2012 and a Juris Doctor at Thompson Rivers University's Faculty of Law in 2019. Before starting the firm, Matthee-Johnson articled and practiced with Cates Ford Soll & Epp LLP in Kamloops, arguing at the BC Court of Appeal soon after finishing articles.

The firm's main focus is criminal defence, with trial experience in BC's Provincial Court and Supreme Court and appeal experience at the Court of Appeal. It also takes on low-conflict family matters, including uncontested divorces, separation agreements, and adoptions, and offers general legal retainers so clients have someone to call with legal questions as they come up. For people who want to handle more of their own case, CEMJ Law also provides unbundled legal services, helping self-represented clients prepare for a specific hearing or trial rather than taking over the whole file.

Matthee-Johnson is supported by a legal assistant completing a law degree at Thompson Rivers University part time, and by an office manager who also works as an X-ray technologist.
