10(B) Criminal Law Center is a criminal defence practice based in downtown St. Catharines, Ontario, run by lawyer Sidney Zarabi. It represents clients across the Niagara Region on criminal matters, with particular focus on bail hearings. The firm is on the Legal Aid Ontario roster and can be reached around the clock by detainees seeking representation.
The firm built its own tool, called the 10(b)C Card, to track and verify sureties in real time during bail proceedings, with the aim of getting clients released the same day where that is possible. It also represents clients in Ontario's Mental Health and Drug Treatment Court and in Indigenous Peoples Court, and its bail work involves partnerships with the Canadian Mental Health Association, the John Howard Society, and Safe Beds supervised housing to connect clients to counselling, housing, and addiction support alongside their defence. Legal Aid Ontario lists Zarabi as practising criminal law with a focus on mental health, youth matters, and Gladue cases, and as speaking English, Farsi, and Persian.
