I am a criminal defence lawyer at Strategic Criminal Defence Edmonton Office<\/a>, a full-service criminal defence law office, with central offices in Calgary<\/a>,\u00a0Edmonton<\/a>,\u00a0Lethbridge<\/a>,\u00a0Victoria<\/a>,\u00a0Saskatchewan<\/a>, and\u00a0Toronto<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I practice out of the Edmonton office, where I represent individuals charged with a wide range of criminal and quasi-criminal offences.<\/p>\n

Born and raised in Edmonton, I\u2019ve always felt a strong connection to this city and the people who live here. That connection has shaped the way I approach my work. I see criminal defence as more than just advocacy, it\u2019s about showing up for people during some of the most difficult moments in their lives and defending their rights with intelligence, preparation, and purpose.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
