I earned my Bachelor of Arts degree in Political Science from York University in Toronto and graduated law school at Queen’s University in Kingston, Ontario. I am currently completing my Master of Laws degree at Osgoode Hall Law School specializing in Criminal Law and Procedure. 

 

Following my call to the bar in Ontario, I began practicing at Canada’s largest criminal defence firm, Pinkofskys Criminal Trial and Appeal Lawyers. I am now a partner at Pinkofskys where I continue to practice exclusively in the area of criminal defence law.

 

My work has included representing clients at bail hearings and bail reviews, "judge alone" trials, jury trials and appeals.  The range of criminal charges I defend include, but are not limited to, domestic assault, sexual assault, robbery, drug offences, weapons offences, firearms offences, arson, theft / shoplifting, fraud, break & enter, impaired driving, attempted murder, murder, securities offences, tax evasion, regulatory offences, computer crimes, offences under the Environmental Protection Act or Occupational Health and Safety Act, professional disciplinary offences, embezzlement, corporate crimes, and conspiracy offences.

 

I have appeared as counsel on hundreds of trials ranging from large-scale frauds and drug trafficking to murder and almost every charge in between. I  have defended alleged gang members charged in Project Pathfinder, Project Flicker, Project XXX and Project Kryptic, four of Canada's largest Criminal Organization prosecutions and in 2004, I made national headlines with my advocacy in the French Left-hand Turn Case.

 

Although most of my clients are in the greater Toronto and outlying areas, I have made trial appearances in all corners of Ontario including York Region, Durham Region, Peel Region, Halton Region, Barrie, Orillia, Hamilton, Guelph, Kitchener, Waterloo, Kingston and Orangeville among others.

 

In addition to defending persons charged with criminal and other offences, I provide advice to victims, witnesses, sureties, persons under investigation, persons wanting seized property returned, and others in a variety of unfortunate situations.
