About Dallas Criminal Defence
Dallas Criminal Defence is a criminal law firm in downtown Toronto, founded in 2008 by I. Loui Dallas as The Voice of Urban Representation. The firm takes cases through every stage, from bail hearings through pretrial resolution to trial, and its practice spans violent crime, drug offences, driving offences including impaired driving, sexual offences, youth criminal justice matters, and Ontario Review Board fitness hearings for clients with mental health issues. It also raises Charter of Rights challenges tied to search, detention, and delay, and it takes on both legal aid certificates and private retainers.
Before law, Dallas spent five years teaching in Toronto's inner city high schools. Osgoode Hall Law School granted a J.D. in 2006, and Dallas was called to the Ontario bar in 2007, then built a small team of associates around that practice. One associate practiced tax law before moving into criminal defence, another articled under Dallas directly, and between them the team speaks English, French, Mandarin, and Farsi. The firm calls its approach to clients CRED, for compassion, respect, empathy, and dignity, values it says apply the same way whether someone is paying privately or on legal aid.
