About Cojocaru Slattery LLP

Cojocaru Slattery LLP is a two-lawyer criminal defence firm in downtown Brampton, Ontario, founded by partners Virgil E. Cojocaru and Carolyn S. D. Slattery Cojocaru. Both are Barristers and Solicitors who say on the firm's site that they've practiced exclusively in criminal defence since being called to the bar, and that the firm doesn't take on any other area of law. It represents adults and youths against a full range of Criminal Code and Controlled Drugs and Substances Act charges, from violent offences, weapons charges, and drug offences to property crimes and driving related matters like impaired driving and dangerous driving.

The firm is based in the heart of Brampton rather than running a satellite office for a practice headquartered elsewhere, and it says it has built a reputation at the Brampton Courthouse over years of practice there. Virgil Cojocaru also handles Gladue matters, sentencing submissions that take an Indigenous offender's circumstances into account, and works in English, Italian, and Romanian, according to Legal Aid Ontario's directory. Slattery Cojocaru works in English. Instead of keeping set office hours, the two lawyers work by appointment and can be reached directly by cell phone, offering free consultations and bail hearings for clients in custody.

The neighbourhood

The firm's office is on the second floor of Brampton's Old Shoe Factory building at 57 Mill Street North, according to the firm's own site. The building takes its name from the J.W. Hewetson Shoe Company, a major local employer for more than sixty five years in the early twentieth century and one of the last surviving reminders of Brampton's shoe manufacturing era, after other factories in the city were lost to demolition and fire. Hewetson was the maternal grandfather of former Ontario premier William Davis.

Cojocaru Slattery LLP says its Old Shoe Factory office is fully accessible and close to transit, and that the practice has built its standing with the Brampton Criminal Defence Bar over years of appearing at the Brampton Courthouse. The firm serves clients across the GTA and beyond, and offers free consultations by appointment rather than keeping regular office hours.
