Approach

Providing you representation that is both loyal and lucid.

Loyal

I will provide you with a personalised and determined defense that is tailored to your particular situation.

Lucid

I will offer you a neutral, calculated and accurate analysis of your file. I identify the key issues in order to establish a genuine strategy.

With me, you’ll get the straight facts—plain and simple. The goal is neither to flatter nor offend, but to find real solutions to the issues that affect you.

Direct access

Our communication will be unfettered.

You will have my phone number, direct line. Before each Court appearance, we will discuss the progression of your file and its future direction.

My objective is to develop a synergy that will allow us to work towards a common goal: the best possible result for your case.

Areas of Practice

Criminal Law.

I practice exclusively in criminal law. Naturally, I plead in both French and English; I also serve my clients in Italian, Spanish, and German.

I represent individuals charged with the following on a daily basis:

  1. 01 Domestic and Intrafamily Violence
  2. 02 Assault and Offences Against the Person
  3. 03 Breaking and Entering
  4. 04 Theft, Robbery, and Possession of Stolen Goods
  5. 05 Drug Possession or Trafficking
  6. 06 Sexual Offences, Child Pornography, Pedosexual Abuse and Exploitation Material

This applies to all stages of a case, whether it is the initial appearance, bail hearing, preliminary inquiry, trial, verdict, guilty plea, or sentencing.

Legal Aid Accepted

Legal aid mandates are accepted. A serious defense should not depend on your financial means.

Clear Fees

If you are not eligible for legal aid, you will know what your case will cost before committing. No surprises along the way.
