Ronald J. Wormsbecker
Ron grew up in a solidly based Christian home just outside of Sedley.  He has fond memories of his school days, playing baseball and hockey and of helping his father on the farm.  Ron's schoolboy ambition was to become a lawyer.  In 1972, he received his Bachelor of Laws and started Articling in Weyburn.  Ron's university studies in economics and political science nurtured an interest in politics.  In 1991, he was elected MLA for the Constituency of Weyburn and served one term under Roy Romanow.

Ron takes a special interest in farm issues as he actively farmed for ten years. Ron also donates much of his time to his church and the Tommy Douglas Performing Arts Centre. At present, Ron is the president of the Weyburn Chapter of Full Gospel Business Mens Fellowship International.

Ron practices in all areas of law with some emphasis on family law.  Ron is also a registered collaborative law lawyer in Saskatchewan.  Collaborative law is a less costly, non-adversarial approach to resolving family law issues such as custody and division of property.  Having served as an MLA, Ron gained insight into the operations of government bureaucracy.  His clients benefit from his experience in matters involving government agencies and bureaucratic red tape.

Ron attends seminars regularly, keeping himself informed and up-to-date. He has attended courses on Preparing Affidavits and Solicitor's Legal Opinions, Trial by Paper, New Family Law Rules, New Land Registration System, and Quick and Efficient Real Estate Closings.

He has served as President of Saskatchewan Crime Stoppers, as well as the South Saskatchewan Community Foundation.

Greg has acquired the reputation as an accommodating, fair and excellent lawyer, particularly in the areas of real estate, business and corporate law.  His appointment as Queen's Counsel in 1986 confirms his credentials and distinction.

Greg's clients appreciate his personal touch and his concern for their particular needs and circumstances.  His personable nature, and forceful representation of his clients, has made him a popular and successful lawyer.  Despite his busy schedule, Greg attends many courses to keep himself current and informed.
