About Dresser Defence Professional Corporation

Dresser Defence Professional Corporation is a solo criminal and professional discipline practice in Toronto, led by barrister and solicitor Ashley Dresser. Before law school, Dresser studied biochemistry, earning an honours degree from the University of Windsor in 2006 and a master's degree from the University of Calgary in 2009. That scientific background led to a Juris Doctor from the University of British Columbia in 2012 and admission to the Ontario bar in 2013. The practice now covers criminal litigation from the initial bail hearing through to a post-conviction appeal, professional discipline matters for regulated professionals facing a regulator's investigation or hearing, and workplace or institutional investigations. In recent years the firm has built a particular focus on sexual assault litigation, describing its approach as trauma informed and noting it can act for either an accused person or a complainant. Dresser Defence is also a member of Legal Aid Ontario's Extremely Serious Criminal Matters panel.

The office is Courtyard Chambers on Adelaide Street East in Toronto. Dresser Defence practices across the Greater Toronto Area and will travel farther for the right case, offers a free 30 minute consultation, and notes it is reachable around the clock for emergencies.
