About Gates Criminal Law

Gates Criminal Law is a solo criminal defence practice in Toronto, run by Kelly Gates from an office at Yonge and Sheppard. Gates earned a Bachelor of Arts with Honours in criminology from the University of Toronto and a Juris Doctor from the University of Western Ontario, and was called to the Ontario bar in 2017. Before opening an independent practice, Gates worked at a large Bay Street criminal defence firm in Toronto and served as a Crown Attorney at the Barrie Crown Attorney's Office.

The practice covers the full range of criminal charges, including domestic assault, drug offences, sexual assault, weapons charges, theft, fraud, robbery, and break and enter, and it accepts Legal Aid certificates. Gates Criminal Law also handles bail hearings, arranging sureties and putting together a bail plan to argue against pre-trial detention. A separate part of the practice is regulatory litigation, representing professionals such as nurses, teachers, and chiropractors in disciplinary proceedings before their regulatory bodies, including the College of Nurses of Ontario and the College of Chiropractors of Ontario.
