Virtual appointmentsVirtual appointmentsAbout AM Law
AM Law is a small, Toronto-based criminal and regulatory defence practice run by Andrew McKay. It represents individuals and corporations in criminal and quasi-criminal trials, regulatory and professional discipline hearings, appeals, and legal advisory matters.
McKay's route to the defence bar wasn't typical. Before practising law, McKay spent 15 years as a police officer in Toronto, then moved into the Crown's office as an Assistant Crown Attorney in the Toronto Region. That background gives the firm firsthand experience with how investigations, charges, and the court process actually work, from more than one side of the table. McKay has since spent over 20 years representing clients in criminal and quasi-criminal trials, regulatory and professional discipline hearings, and appeals.

The neighbourhood
AM Law's office is in the University Centre tower at 393 University Avenue. The Ontario Superior Court of Justice courthouse at 361 University Avenue, which hears criminal and family matters, is a short walk away, and Osgoode Hall, home to the Law Society of Ontario and the Ontario Court of Appeal, anchors the corner of University Avenue and Queen Street a few blocks south. For a firm built on criminal, regulatory, and appellate work, that puts the office within easy reach of the courtrooms where its cases are argued.
