Aitan M. Lerner
888-423-6016
I was born in Camp Hill, PA., and raised in New York. I graduated with top honours, summa cum laude from undergraduate school in NY where I acted as president of the Political Science Club and VP of the Debate Team. I moved to Canada almost 20 years ago and graduated Osgoode Hall Law School in 1996. Since my call to the Bar in February 1998 I have maintained a criminal defence practice and have restricted my practice to criminal defence since the end of 2001. I have conducted many trials in the Provincial and Superior Courts with a high rate of success. I love the work I do and my clients and colleagues tell me that it shows.
I am a member of several law associations and have published legal articles in legal journals.
My goal is to provide sound legal advice and fearless advocacy for my clients in a manner that is as cost effective as possible.
