About Tremblay-Hall & Belisle

The Professional Corporation of Jessica P. Belisle is a solo criminal defence practice in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, doing business online as saultdefencelaw.ca. Jessica Belisle was called to the Ontario bar on January 26, 2018, after earning a Bachelor of Arts in Anishinaabemowin from Algoma University, completing the Program of Legal Studies for Native People in 2013, and finishing a Juris Doctor at the University of Saskatchewan in 2016. Belisle is Anishinaabe Kwe from Sault Ste. Marie, and the firm's own site notes that Belisle's family is from Thessalon, Ontario.

Belisle practices exclusively in criminal defence, appearing before the Ontario Court of Justice, the Superior Court of Justice, and the Provincial Offences Court across the Algoma District, including Blind River, Elliot Lake, Wawa, Chapleau, Timmins, Gore Bay, Espanola, and the Sudbury District. A third-year clinical placement at the C.L.A.S.S.I.C. poverty law clinic in Saskatoon, during law school, is where the pull toward criminal law started. Bail hearings and Aboriginal law round out the practice alongside criminal defence, and Belisle belongs to the Indigenous Bar Association, the Criminal Lawyers Association, and the Algoma District Law Association.
