First Year of Call

Areas of Practice
Criminal Law

Description
I am a senior criminal defence lawyer at Strategic Criminal Defence, a full-service criminal defence law office, with central offices in Calgary, Edmonton, Lethbridge, Victoria, Saskatchewan, and Toronto.

My practice is based in Calgary.

I have dedicated the last 25 of my 30 years practicing law to Criminal Law exclusively. In that time, I have personally successfully defended thousands of people across Alberta and Saskatchewan. Few lawyers have had the ability and honour to help such a wide range of people in need, and I’m proud to be among them. I apply this accumulated wealth of successful experience to every case and every client.

In my career, I have appeared at all levels of Court in Alberta, Saskatchewan, and at the Supreme Court of Canada. The long list of reported cases in which I have appeared has helped shape the developing law surrounding the “right to counsel” and “search and seizure” in Alberta and perhaps across Canada.
