About Daniel Kayfetz

Daniel H. Kayfetz is a sole practitioner in Toronto whose criminal defence practice traces back to 1970, after a law degree from Osgoode Hall Law School in 1968. More than five decades in, the practice still runs as a one lawyer office focused on criminal trial work. The areas of focus include general criminal defence, drug offences, domestic violence charges, and theft charges. The stated approach is to weigh the strength of the Crown's evidence early: push for a withdrawal of charges where the evidence is weak, or work toward the least severe outcome where it isn't.

The office sits on South Drive in Rosedale, a residential part of central Toronto. Prospective clients can call or email the office directly, and the site invites people to send disclosure documents by email ahead of a consultation.
