Greater Toronto Area Criminal Defence Law Firm · Ontario Drug Crimes Lawyer
There is no such thing as a minor criminal offence. You are about to face an overwhelming Canadian criminal justice system that is confusing by its very nature. It is a court system that requires navigating the process and being acutely aware of all of the key players involved, as much as preparing and presenting clear evidence supporting your case.
I am Aitan M. Lerner, barrister and prosecutor, practicing solely in the area of criminal defence. For nearly 13 years, I have made it my profession to stand up and advocate fearlessly on behalf of individuals charged with criminal offences in the Greater Toronto Area, including the regions of York, Peel and Durham. The majority of my clients come to my law firm by way of referrals made by satisfied clients I have represented successfully in the past. Many retain me after losing confidence in their original defence counsel. When you retain a lawyer, you have the right to expect prompt return phone calls and honest, clear answers to your questions. Because I limit the number of clients I represent throughout the year, I remain available to respond quickly to your concerns, while remaining flexible to meet the changing demands of your case.
Contact me any time of the day or night to discuss the investigation or the charges that you are facing. I have extensive experience in a broad range of criminal law matters, including:
- Sex offences: With an in-depth knowledge of the court procedures, and of the expectations of the judge and Crown, I employ intelligent, aggressive strategies to keep a conviction for a sex offence off your record.
- Drug offences: There is no such thing as a minor narcotics offence in the criminal justice system. I give my clients the advantage and benefit of experience, understanding the best strategies for court, as well as strategies for successfully working with the key people involved in the prosecution.
- DUI and related criminal driving offences: Aggressive, intelligent defence representation for all criminal matters related to drunk driving and other criminal driving offences.
- Fraud and white collar offences: Fraud and property offences are often complex. I offer the experience and capacity to thoroughly investigate the evidence and prepare a clear defence to help you get the best possible outcome for the accusation or charges.
- Extradition: A successful criminal defence often comes down to an in-depth knowledge of how police and prosecutors might violate civil rights to gather evidence. I have extensive experience in cases involving extradition and the legal application of probable cause and search warrants.
