The LT Lawyers Team

Ryan Lee

Ryan’s approach to practicing law has been efficient and progressive since he started his law career in 2011. It’s carried over into building LT Lawyers LLP with his partner, Peter Trieu.

Ryan has helped set LT Lawyers LLP apart in terms of client service, by striving to keep the firm at the forefront of legal technology that helps clients resolve their cases faster and easier. Should a case go to court, he has represented clients before the Alberta Court of Queen's bench and the Supreme Court of British Columbia, including at trial.

As a former lawyer representing insurance companies in personal injury cases, he knows their tactics, strategies and where their real priorities lie. It’s a strong negotiating chip.

Outside of the office, Ryan enjoys spending time with his wife, daughter and their two little dogs. Ryan also fancies himself a chef, worldly traveller and guitar player.

Peter Trieu

Peter is from Calgary and has practiced personal injury law in Alberta since 2013. His observations and experiences working with prisoners in East Africa during law school shaped his approach to practicing law and his commitment to protecting the rights of "the little guy."

Over and above building LT Lawyers LLP with his partner, Ryan Lee, Peter has served and continues to serve in several volunteer capacities:

He’s a book reviewer and served on the Editorial Board of the Alberta Civil Trial Lawyer's Association’s Barrister magazine from 2015-2024.

He was co-chair of the Canadian Bar Association Personal Injury subsection (2015–17) and served on the Board of the Alberta Civil Trial Lawyer’s Association (2014–2020).

Like one of his favorite comedians, he enjoys cars, comedy and coffee.  Peter enjoys reading, cooking, spending time with his wife, three sons and friends and is a Simpsons super fan.  

Faye Gelb

With over 18+ years of legal experience, including 8 years in disability law, Faye uses her knowledge and experience gained in trial work and case assessments, to achieve disability case resolutions through a team approach offered in a small firm setting.

Insurance companies use different methods to terminate or deny benefits, which can include the use of surveillance, paper file reviews, independent medical or functional examinations and PT or OT get back to work therapy. With a background in criminal law and a strong focus on evidence, Faye seeks to identify all aspects that can successfully rebut the insurance companies claim of “no disability.”

Despite what appear to be insurmountable hurdles against benefits, Faye has consistently seen, that claims usually have multiple arguments that knowledgeable counsel can use to achieve results. Our team approach has consistently attained claim resolutions including in complex cases with challenging issues.

Outside of law, Faye teaches ethics 4-6 hours a week. She is a front-end developer, photographer, former podcast host and prolific writer and hopes to one day achieve Python programming efficiency. Faye focused on family and took a leave from law allowing her husband to claim he has practiced law longer. Faye never reminds her husband that he was still an articling student when she had already been practicing law for four years.

Daniel Gelb

With over 22 years of legal experience, Daniel uses his knowledge, experience, and negotiating skills for clients facing off against an insurance company. A people person, he has extensive experience assisting clients dealing with their benefits being stopped or denied. Frustrated, stressed, financially strapped, or angry clients facing, what feels like, overwhelming odds, now have an advocate experienced and dedicated to their cause.

Because disability cases are not personal injury cases in disguise, clients need representation by a lawyer who is experienced in disability law, the evidence needed, and the strategies and defences of insurance companies. Daniel has that knowledge; for the last 11 years, he has practiced primarily disability law in Alberta and Saskatchewan using virtual mediations to successfully resolve multiple cases.

Daniel’s approach to law is to focus on the client. In 2013, he developed one of the first virtual law firms, long before Covid-19! Being able to deliver legal services to clients from the comfort of their own homes, without unnecessary travel, is how he uses tech to provide client empathy, care, and services.

His prior background as a criminal trial and personal injury lawyer allows him to assess the insurance company’s evidence, defences, experts, and internal reports to develop case strategies to present a client’s best case. He knows that being told you are not disabled while facing the continuation of medical issues can result in people prematurely giving up on their claim for benefits. His legal practice is dedicated to assisting disability clients pursue their benefits and achieve resolutions to their cases.

When not practicing law, Daniel continues to pursue adult learning, mentor young people, assist the elderly navigating health challenges, and assist those recently bereaved. He has 1 year of Dialectical Behaviour Therapy training. As a testament to his ability to negotiate, he has successfully worked with his wife for 8 years.
