Lisa Christian, Lawyer (613) 203-4874

Barrister and Solicitor licensed by the Law Society of Ontario

Throughout the past three decades as a lawyer in Ottawa, I have provided advice and representation for individuals facing legal challenges, particularly those involving investigations by authorities such as the police, the Canada Revenue Agency, professional regulatory bodies, or commercial crime units.

My extensive background includes a unique perspective gained earlier in my career as a crown prosecutor in Ottawa.

I am particularly experienced in cases that involve conflicts between individuals and government agencies at all levels, drawing on my background in both law and government. My education includes a B.A. in Political Science from Carleton University and an LL.B. from the University of Ottawa, as well as extensive on-going education.

I can represent you even if your case involves French documents such as witness statements or police reports.
