Clients rate this firm highly on Google.
Caramanna, Friedberg LLP is a criminal defence firm based on Bay Street in downtown Toronto, founded in 2002 by Sal Caramanna and Matthew Friedberg. The firm's small team of lawyers handles criminal and quasi-criminal matters across Ontario's courts, from assault, drug, and driving charges up to fraud, homicide, and professional discipline proceedings. A family lawyer also practices in association with the firm, so its clients aren't limited to criminal work alone.
The firm takes an unusual public position for a law practice: its website states it won't claim to be "the best, the top, or your only choice," pointing instead to Law Society of Ontario rules against unsubstantiated advertising. That stance hasn't kept outside recognition away. Canadian Lawyer magazine named Caramanna Friedberg among Ontario's top criminal law boutique firms for 2022 to 23, and the firm is listed in Best Lawyers, where founding partner Matthew Friedberg has been recognized in Criminal Defence since 2025. The firm also runs an articling program, typically taking on two students a year for hands on training that runs from client visits to trial work.
