Toronto Criminal Defence Lawyer
As a dedicated criminal defence lawyer based in Toronto, I have specialized in criminal law since my call to the Bar in 1998. My practice spans all levels of criminal court in Ontario, including jury trials, appeals, and representation at the Ontario Court of Appeal. With a foundation in Montreal and formal education from McGill University, I bring both Civil Law and Common Law expertise to every case. My professional journey includes articling at McGarvey & Logan and collaborating with respected firms before establishing my own practice in 2010. I maintain active memberships in key legal associations, including The Law Society of Upper Canada and the Criminal Lawyers' Association.My approach prioritizes personalized client relationships while delivering vigorous legal advocacy. I handle a comprehensive range of criminal matters, from assault and drug offences to complex fraud and sexual assault cases. My commitment extends to legal aid recipients and clients requiring 24/7 emergency representation. By combining decades of courtroom experience with strategic legal analysis, I work to achieve optimal outcomes for every client I represent.
