At LawStop, we don’t just practice law; we fight for those who feel trapped by the system. I am LawStop’s founder and managing partner, and I know firsthand how daunting it is to be up against the full power of the government.

My path to becoming a criminal defence lawyer wasn’t a traditional one. When I was young, I had a brush-in with the criminal justice system that left a lasting impact on my life. Witnessing the power imbalance between the accused and the state ignited a passion to become a force for justice and to advocate fiercely for those charged with criminal offences.

Before graduating with distinction from the Ludlow Hall School of Law at University of New Brunswick, I completed my Bachelors in Commerce at the University of Toronto.

My education and subsequent years of experience defending clients facing charges ranging from mischief to murder have honed my skills and expertise. In my career, I have successfully represented hundreds of clients in the Ontario Court of Justice and the Ontario Superior Court of Justice. I passionately believe that the burden of proof should be squarely on the Crown, and that everyone deserves the right to an unequivocally strong defence.

More Than a Lawyer, A Dedicated Advocate

I know that facing criminal charges isn’t just a legal matter; it’s personal. That’s why I pride myself in:

  • Open Communication: I’m available 24/7 via text, WhatsApp, email, or phone. It’s about more than just discussing your case. It’s about being there for you during a difficult time.

  • Relentless Preparation: We leave no stone unturned, constantly staying on top of new developments in case law and honing negotiation tactics. When your freedom is at stake, you deserve the best defence.
 
  • Compassionate Listening: Your story matters. It’s important that I take the time to listen fully and truly understand your perspective, which is the foundation for a strong defence. That’s why I want to get to know your background, your employment status, your immigration status, your family situation, etc. That’s also why I want you to get to know me fully and be comfortable with me as your legal representative.
