SuJung is a trial and appeal lawyer at Daniel Brown Law with a practice devoted exclusively to criminal defence. Since joining the firm in 2020, she has represented clients in cases ranging from minor offences to the most serious allegations, including homicide, sexual assault, and large-scale drug trafficking prosecutions. She has appeared before all levels of court in Ontario and is widely recognized for her skill in the courtroom, her strategic judgment, and her commitment to her clients.

Her defence practice covers the full spectrum of criminal law, with a particular focus on complex sexual assault trials and Charter litigation involving racial profiling and systemic bias. SuJung has acted as counsel in multi-issue sexual assault cases, homicide matters, and firearms prosecutions. Her representative successes include securing acquittals in sexual assault cases turning on contested issues of memory and credibility, excluding evidence obtained through unlawful police practices, and achieving non-custodial outcomes in matters that often attract penitentiary sentences, such as child pornography, weapons trafficking, and fraud over $5,000.

SuJung approaches every case with a deep sense of responsibility, recognizing the high stakes and personal impact of the criminal process. She is known for combining rigorous legal analysis with a compassionate and steady presence, helping clients navigate one of the most difficult times in their lives with clarity and confidence.

Beyond her litigation work, SuJung is an active contributor to legal education and justice reform. She regularly provides media commentary on issues such as criminal law reform, high-profile cases, and systemic delays in the courts, including appearances on CBC Radio and Television. She frequently writes and lectures on sentencing, racial profiling, and the need for greater diversity in the legal profession. She has spoken at Canadian law schools and at conferences hosted by the Law Society of Ontario, the Criminal Lawyers’ Association, the Federation of Asian Canadian Lawyers, and the Ontario Crown Attorneys Association. She is also a contributing author to CanLII’s open-access Criminal Law E-Book.

SuJung’s path to criminal defence began at the University of Toronto Faculty of Law, where she represented low-income clients at Downtown Legal Services. After articling with another leading Toronto defence firm, she joined Daniel Brown Law to continue her work as an advocate dedicated to fairness, integrity, and principled defence.
