Criminal DefenceCriminal DefenceAbout Kenneth R. Byers
Ken Byers is a criminal defence lawyer and one of the two founding partners of Daley, Byers. People facing impaired driving, assault, sex offence, drug, fraud or weapons charges come to Ken, and so do people who need help getting released on bail.
Ken has been doing this work for more than 45 years. Osgoode Hall Law School came first, with graduation in 1979, and the early part of Ken's career was spent under the mentorship of Martin Telpitsky. The call to the bar came in April 1981, the same month Bruce Daley was called.
Law wasn't the starting point, though. Ken trained in physics at Trent University and won the Engineer's Award there for excellence in that subject. That science training is still part of how Ken works through a file, particularly where the evidence turns on scientific or technical questions.
Ken's view of the job is simple: anyone who walks into the office needs help, and the work is to give it and lift some of the stress off their shoulders.
