I am a criminal defence lawyer at Strategic Criminal Defence\u2019s Toronto branch<\/a>, a full-service criminal defence law office, with central offices in Toronto, <\/a>Calgary<\/a>,\u00a0<\/a>Edmonton<\/a>,\u00a0<\/a>Lethbridge<\/a>,\u00a0<\/a>Victoria<\/a>, <\/a>and Saskatchewan<\/a><\/p>\n

My practice is based in Toronto.<\/p>\n

Since being called to the Ontario bar, I have practiced exclusively in criminal defence. I have represented hundreds of clients across the GTA and Southern Ontario facing a variety of criminal charges.\u00a0 I have successfully represented these individuals and have regularly obtained acquittals, withdrawals and stays.<\/p>\n

The narrow and focused scope of my practice has allowed me to gain experience regarding all aspects of this area of the law.\u00a0 In effectively representing my clients, I have beaten charges in relation to assault (all forms), impaired operation, fraud and other property crimes, sexual assault, drug related offences and domestic matters.<\/p>\n

My interest in law stretches back to before my legal education. Prior to obtaining my degree, I worked in immigration law. The dynamic nature of this field helped me build the necessary skill set to excel in the practice of law.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Approach to Advocacy<\/h3>\n

Having to search for a criminal defence lawyer likely means that you are in a tough spot. It is crucial that you pick a lawyer that you feel comfortable working with, as making your way though the criminal justice system is a time intensive endeavour. I strive to ensure that I am available to all of my clients to answer their questions and to guide them through a very stressful process.<\/p>\n

All cases that I deal with are given equal consideration. I tailor my approach to the unique, individual needs of my clients and their charges. Some charges can be dismissed without having to resort to trial. Other times, a trial is the only way to guarantee that your rights are protected and that you have a voice in the process.<\/p>\n

While I would never back away form a trial, in certain instances the most sensible approach is to work towards a resolution position that ensures an outcome that you can live with.\u00a0 This could involve ensuring that you avoid jail, house arrest or a criminal record \u2013 as the case may be.\u00a0 In any scenario, I am ready to work with you to obtain the most favourable outcome possible.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Education, Accomplishments and Career Path<\/h3>\n

I obtained my Honours Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Toronto and my Juris Doctor degree from the University of Windsor Faculty of Law.<\/p>\n

While completing my legal education, I spent multiple academic terms volunteering at the city\u2019s legal aid clinic.\u00a0 In this role, I was able to build my litigation and advocacy skills while helping clients charged with a wide range of criminal offences.<\/p>\n

After completing my legal education, I worked as a student-at-law and as an associate at an established, full-service criminal defence firm in Toronto.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n
