About Us

Sole Focus on Criminal Law

We’re not a general practice firm — criminal defence is all we do. That focus means we bring sharp insight, deep legal knowledge, and current courtroom experience to every case. Whether you’re charged with a first-time offence or a serious allegation, we know what’s at stake — and how to defend it.

Strategic, Skilled, and Client-Focused

Every case is different. That’s why we tailor our approach to your situation — from legal strategy to communication. We start by listening, then build a defence that aligns with your goals and the realities of your case. Our lawyers prepare thoroughly, negotiate strategically, and go to court ready to win.

Recognized by Courts and Colleagues

We’ve appeared before all levels of court in Manitoba — including the Manitoba Court of Appeal and the Supreme Court of Canada. Our lawyers regularly share their experience and insights at legal conferences and seminars, reflecting their commitment to both advocacy and the broader legal community.

Get the Defence You Deserve

There is an art to handling cases and courtroom argument. Our extensive experience allows us to know when it is best to confront the prosecutor with a position, and how best to negotiate for our client’s advantage. More importantly, we understand how to fight successfully for our clients, and how to find the most effective strategy to meet each client’s particular needs.

We have represented thousands of clients who find themselves trapped by the justice system in Manitoba and abroad and we will always strive to successfully represent you in a transparent, respectful, and professional manner.
