A great deal of how I approach the law today has come from decades of helping people who had or were retired from good jobs, were highly regarded in their communities, and usually had no criminal records. But, they had problems related to criminal law! All sorts of people have criminal-related problems that are far broader than criminal charges. So, my law practice addresses how criminal-related problems play out in the real world, representing people who are actually charged or under investigation as well as those who are not.
Within that broad framework, the focus is on criminal defense work, especially providing criminal-related legal advice. I also appear in court for all types of criminal and driving offenses. My sub-specialty is defending tax offenses. Bonus: I am bilingual and can work with French documents.
Dealing with governments, police and other investigators, and prosecutors and judges on your behalf is strongly supported by my Bachelor of Arts Degree from Carleton University in Political Science, with a minor in Economics, followed by a Law Degree (LL.B./J.D.) from the University of Ottawa. Since being called to the Bar of Ontario in 1987, I have practised mainly as a sole practitioner in criminal defence. I am a senior active member of the Criminal Lawyers Association.
My earlier career experience includes founding the first criminal law legal research and writing business in Ottawa, practising in commercial law at a 'Big Law' firm, and I am a former Ottawa prosecutor for the Attorney General. All of these experiences were rare and valuable opportunities that help me to help you. That's why I did them.
