About Craniotis Law Office

Craniotis Law Office is a solo criminal defence and residential real estate practice based in Oakville, Ontario, founded by Peter J. Craniotis in 2009, the same year Craniotis was called to the Ontario bar. Craniotis earned an Honours Bachelor of Arts from the University of Toronto at Mississauga in 2005, graduating on the Dean's List and as a member of the Golden Key International Honour Society, then completed the French Common Law Program at the University of Ottawa in 2008. That program is taught mostly in French, with compulsory courses and at least 75 percent of upper-year courses delivered in the language, and the firm's site says the training prepared Craniotis to work with Franco-Ontarian and other French-speaking clients. Craniotis articled with Gauthier & Associates in Toronto before founding the firm.

The practice covers two areas. Criminal defence spans impaired driving and assault through to more serious matters such as drug trafficking and manslaughter. Real estate work covers purchase and sale agreements, refinancing, condo purchases, title transfers, and survivorship applications. Craniotis Law Office says it handles every criminal file personally and has represented more than 1,000 clients across Southern Ontario, serving the Halton, Peel, and Hamilton regions from its Oakville office.
