About Engel & Associates
Engel & Associates is a criminal defence firm based in downtown Ottawa. It doesn't take on other kinds of cases; the firm practices exclusively in criminal law. Bruce Engel has practiced criminal law since 1991, and together the firm's four lawyers bring more than 30 years of combined experience to matters that include impaired driving, assault, drug and weapons charges, white collar crime, and more serious cases such as murder and manslaughter. The firm represents clients throughout Ottawa and the surrounding communities of Ontario and Quebec.
The team includes Tamara Bubis, who earned a law degree from the University of Ottawa in 2015 and worked at the Immigration and Refugee Board in Toronto before joining the firm, with a practice that includes parole matters and cases before the Ontario Review Board. Kevin Weinstein joined as an articling student in 2016 and stayed on after being called to the bar in 2017, having spent two years on the University of Ottawa's Conviction Review Project studying wrongful conviction claims. Justis Danto-Clancy studied law at Lakehead University in Thunder Bay, won the Sopinka Cup national criminal trial advocacy competition in 2020, and was called to the bar in 2021 before joining Engel & Associates in 2024. The firm also produces a podcast, Presumption of Nonsense, that's available on Spotify.
