Criminal defence lawyer. Trial and appeal counsel before Ontario courts and the Federal Court of Canada.

Chloe’s broad criminal defence practice encompasses both trials and appeals. She has regularly appeared at the Ontario Court of Justice, Superior Court of Justice, the Federal Court of Canada, and the Court of Appeal for Ontario, in addition to various administrative tribunals.

Practice

While Chloe defends all types of criminal charges under the Criminal Code, Controlled Drugs and Substances Act, and the Extradition Act, she has frequent experience with cases involving allegations of sexual assault and drug trafficking. Chloe also conducts bail hearings to secure her clients’ releases, including special bail hearings that involve serious and complex charges. In her appeal practice, Chloe has successfully argued cases ranging from first degree murder, kidnapping and robbery with firearms, drug trafficking, and sexual assault. She is also a member of the Pro Bono Inmate Appeal Program, which assists unrepresented appellants before the Court of Appeal for Ontario when they cannot otherwise afford legal representation.

How she works

Examines the Crown’s case closely and leverages any weaknesses.

Approach

Chloe approaches her clients’ legal problems with tenacity and creativity, using her judgment to strategize effectively. She is mindful of the reputational harms that flow from criminal charges. Chloe examines the Crown’s case closely and leverages any weaknesses to negotiate a withdrawal of her clients’ charges. Chloe has frequent success securing the withdrawal of a range of cases, including serious offences of aggravated assault, sexual assault, sexual exploitation, and voyeurism. Otherwise, Chloe will mount a strong defence at trial, and frequently conducts judge-alone or jury trials.

Background

Chloe graduated from the University of Toronto Faculty of Law, where she volunteered as a caseworker within the criminal division of Downtown Legal Services. In that role, she defended low-income clients on a variety of criminal cases. After law school, Chloe honed her advocacy skills for several years at a civil litigation firm in Toronto, assisting with motions, trials, and appeals in complex civil and administrative proceedings.
