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.”

SECOND-DEGREE MURDER
R. v. D.D. | 2025 | BRAMPTON
In March 2022, the client called me for legal advice. He had killed someone the night before and needed my help negotiating his surrender. He had gotten into an altercation with a relative who tried to break into his home. The fight spilled out on to their front lawn and in a sudden fit of anger, the client stabbed his cousin dozens of times, 8 serious wounds, 4 of them fatal. After a 3 year battle and two week jury trial, he was acquitted of murder.
