I devote my practice to what I know best: criminal appeals.
I have appeared in every level of court, primarily the Court of Appeal for Ontario, as well as the Supreme Court of Canada. By far the overwhelming bulk of my practice is in the Court of Appeal. Because very few cases progress to this level of court (learn more about court structure here), most lawyers do not have any experience in the Court of Appeal, which places them at a distinct disadvantage when appearing in this court.
I gained years of invaluable training and experience as Crown Counsel in Canada's largest criminal law office, located in Toronto, which is responsible for the conduct of all appeals in the province that reach the Court of Appeal in Criminal Code matters. Having appeared regularly in the Court of Appeal, I provide clients and customers with a crucial advantage at the appellate level which can not be underestimated. In the vast majority of cases, the Court of Appeal is the last recourse for litigants. |
In my years of criminal practice I have dealt with the full range of Criminal Code offences from sexual assault to murder, white collar crime and participating in a criminal organization. I have appeared in the Court of Appeal for Ontario upwards of one hundred times, arguing complex criminal law issues such as self-defence, the state of mind required to establish murder and issues arising under the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. (Go to My Cases to read court decisions in some of the appeals that I have argued.)
In addition to representing clients in court, I also provide research, consulting and agency services to other criminal lawyers and law firms who require expertise in criminal appeal or research matters. If you are a criminal lawyer, click here to see a list of available services.
