About Audet Criminal Law
Audet Criminal Law is a solo criminal defence practice based in Toronto, founded by Ashley Audet. From an office at 1920-155 University Avenue, the firm concentrates on serious indictable offences: murder, attempted murder, firearms charges, drug trafficking, robbery, aggravated assault, human trafficking, and other serious weapons offences. It has conducted trials and appeals at every level of court in Ontario and has represented clients in complex gun and gang investigations, including Project Traveller and Project Marvel. Beyond Toronto, the firm takes on cases in surrounding municipalities such as Brampton, Hamilton, Newmarket, Oshawa, and St. Catharines.
Audet holds a Bachelor of Arts from McGill University and a Juris Doctor from Osgoode Hall Law School, where the focus was on criminal law and human rights. Before founding the firm, Audet worked as an articling student and associate at a Toronto defence firm. As a law student, Audet took part in Osgoode's Innocence Project, investigating wrongful conviction claims connected to former pathologist Dr. Charles Smith, and spent the summers of 2009 and 2010 working with youth in the justice systems of Uganda and Sierra Leone. That work led to research that helped inform juvenile justice policy reform in both countries.

Who handles what
The neighbourhood
Audet Criminal Law's office is in a highrise at University Avenue and Adelaide Street West, in the office tower stretch of University Avenue near the southern edge of downtown Toronto. Locally, University Avenue is known as one of the city's grand ceremonial streets, and it's lined for much of its length with corporate offices, hospitals, and legal institutions. It runs north past Osgoode Hall and the Ontario Superior Court of Justice courthouse at 361 University Avenue on its way toward Queen's Park. For a firm built around courtroom work, sitting on that same corridor keeps Toronto's main criminal courts within easy reach.
