If you're an individual or a representative of a rights-seeking group who is looking to challenge a federal, provincial, or municipal law on constitutional grounds, including the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, then let's talk. I offer representation for applicants and intervenors
Constitutional challenges
Inquiries and inquests are formal investigations into specific matters or events, usually of public concern. Lawyers ensure their client's perspective is included by presenting evidence, cross-examining witnesses and in their submissions. My work as a trial lawyer and in grassroots advocacy allows me to do this while advocating for a safe and inclusive process for everyone.
Protest law has complex constitutional angles that relate to free speech, policing, community engagement and political involvement. I offer legal representation, grass-roots education, and considered legal advice to help individuals and organizations make important decisions that are in line with their values and future goals.
Protest and injunction law
Crime doesn't happen in a vacuum. When people's actions bring them before a criminal court there's a range of factors that led them there. A good criminal lawyer starts by learning about those factors and helping with deeply personal decisions that effect their outcomes. My approach to criminal law pairs this approach with years of experience in cross-examination and advocacy at the trial and appellate level.
