Criminal Law Firm
For nearly two decades, our criminal defence lawyers have conducted hundreds of trials and appeals. Daniel Brown and his legal team have defended cases at all levels of criminal court and acquired the experience, expertise and personal contacts essential to tailoring a defence that fits your unique set of circumstances. Our track record and experience speaks for itself.
What we do
Few experiences are as scary and potentially life changing as being confronted with a criminal charge. The outcomes for your personal or professional life can be significant.
Our lawyers find innovative ways to help clients solve criminal law problems beginning at the investigation stage of a case all the way to trial. We work tirelessly to protect our clients from disruption to their life, business and reputation.
While the firm’s clients come from a wide range of occupations and backgrounds, most of our clients are professionals who find themselves in unfamiliar trouble with the law.
We approach every case with the same uncompromising dedication to our client’s best interests and we pride ourselves on achieving the best possible result at the earliest stage of the proceedings. Our clients expect and deserve nothing less.
PRE-CHARGE ADVOCACY
We are experts in negotiating with the police on behalf of clients to prevent criminal charges from being laid. Our most successful advocacy is often stopping a criminal case from entering the court system.
POLICE INVESTIGATIONS
Our legal services include witness interviews, document review, legal and reputational analysis and negotiations with law enforcement and prosecutors. We help clients who choose to cooperate with police to protect their own interests.
CRISIS MANAGEMENT
We provide crisis management advice to our professional clients and their businesses, helping them navigate potentially harmful media exposure or public attention. Our biggest successes are the clients you never hear or read about in the news.
CRIMINAL TRIALS
If criminal charges are laid, our defence lawyers have the skill, creativity and experience to successfully defend the case in court. Our reputation with prosecutors and judges helps to maximize results at all stages of a criminal case.
LEGAL OPINIONS & ADVICE
We provide legal advice to individuals and businesses about their legal rights and obligations. We are often consulted by organizations and individuals who are called to respond to active police investigations.
CRIMINAL APPEALS
We regularly argue complex criminal law appeals at all levels of court including the Superior Court of Justice, the Court of Appeal for Ontario and the Supreme Court of Canada.

If you are charged with a crime, choosing the right criminal law firm to defend you will be the most important choice you will ever make.
