About Velox Law Professional Corporation

Clients rate this firm highly on Google.

Velox Law Professional Corporation is a solo criminal defence practice founded by Sam Puchala, who was called to the Ontario bar in 2019. Velox is Latin for swift, and the name reflects the firm's focus on responsive, direct representation. Puchala completed an Honours Bachelor of Arts and a Juris Doctor entirely in French, the third language among English, French, and Hungarian listed on the Legal Aid Ontario roster of lawyers who serve clients in those languages.

The practice is narrow by design. Velox Law takes on high-stakes matters involving offences against the person, including all levels of assault, homicide, sexual offences, and allegations of domestic violence and coercive control. It offers free consultations and accepts new files through an online intake form, and Puchala is also on the Legal Aid Ontario roster with a Gladue specialty.

The firm's original office is on Ridout Street North in London. A second office later opened in Woodstock, where Puchala grew up. Puchala has served as Treasurer of the London Criminal Lawyers' Association and as Regional Women's Director of the Criminal Lawyers' Association, and received the Middlesex Law Association's Rising Star Award in 2022.
