About Carew & Carew Associates
Carew & Carew Associates is a small, family run criminal defence firm in downtown Ottawa, led by father and daughter Robert B. Carew and Vanessa Carew. Robert Carew earned a Bachelor of Commerce with Great Distinction from McGill University and a common law degree from the University of Ottawa in 1982, then articled with Ontario's Ministry of the Attorney General in Ottawa and worked there until 1988. Called to the Bar of Ontario in 1984 and the Bar of Quebec in 1991, the founder then joined a private criminal defence firm before starting a solo criminal law practice in 1992.
Vanessa Carew joined the practice in 2015, after earning a Bachelor of Science and a Juris Doctor from the University of Ottawa and articling with an Ottawa law firm. The two now represent adult and young offender clients on charges ranging from assault and theft to more serious Criminal Code, drug, and youth justice matters, appearing in the provincial and superior courts of Ontario and Quebec, the appellate courts of both provinces, and the Supreme Court of Canada. The firm offers services in English and French.
