I HAVE SPENT MORE THAN A DECADE DEFENDING PEOPLE CHARGED WITH A VARIETY OF CRIMINAL OFFENCES. EVERY CASE GETS THE SAME LEVEL OF ATTENTION AND EVERY CLIENT IS TREATED WITH THE RESPECT THEY DESERVE.
JHG Criminal Law focuses on homicide offences, the commercial drug trade, illegal firearm use and possession, and serious acts of violence. From Bail Hearing to Charter Application to Jury Trial, the goal is to ensure that you don’t get stuck in the trap of the Criminal Justice System.
It is a trap, designed to keep people stuck in place by detention orders and plea deals that guarantee a criminal record. I pride myself on never taking the easy way out. If there is a defence to advance, then it is pursued. And while it is impossible to predict a result, I always promise a fight.

When Toronto criminal defence lawyer Jordana Goldlist was 16, she was arrested twice for minor drug offences. And while out on bail, she said, there were “no services provided” to help address “the root causes, which was my drug addiction.”

FIRST-DEGREE MURDER
R. v. J.J. | 2024 | NEWMARKET
18 year old client charged with first degree murder as the driver involved in the planned execution of a drug dealer who was shot, stabbed, and beaten at his Richmond Hill home. We secured bail four months after his arrest and throughout the 3 years of litigation he was able to complete high school. Unfortunately his phone records, surveillance videos, and statement to the police made an acquittal impossible but the crown eventually agreed that a life sentence was in no one’s interest and we resolved the case with a plea to manslaughter and a 5.5 year sentence.
