Over 33 years of experience

​

I have been a trial lawyer for over 33 years, and in private practice as a criminal defence lawyer since 1998.

​

I defend complex and important cases throughout the Toronto area, and elsewhere in Ontario. I am committed to providing my clients with the best defence possible, and this is reflected in the philosophy that I bring to my work:

​

• My preparation is very careful and detailed, and

• I accept only a limited number of cases at one time, to ensure a very strong focus

 

Prior to entering private practice, I worked for over ten years as an Assistant Crown Attorney (Prosecutor) in the Toronto criminal courts. I prosecuted a variety of criminal code offences, including high profile murder cases.

​

In 1993 I was presented with an award by Toronto Police Service Juvenile Task Force, for my skill and dedication in heading up a series of child prostitution cases.

Discretion

​

Discretion is a key element of my practice. I avoid the press, seek to preserve my clients' confidentiality and privacy, and deal in a sensitive manner with issues that are often delicate and sometimes embarrassing.
