Free consultationAbout Lisa White Criminal Lawyer
Lisa White Criminal Lawyer is a solo criminal defence practice run out of downtown Toronto by Lisa White, who holds a law degree from the University of Windsor and has practiced criminal law for more than 16 years. Rather than covering the full range of criminal matters, the practice concentrates on domestic related charges: assault, assault with a weapon, assault causing bodily harm, theft, mischief, and forcible confinement. White represents clients across Toronto and the wider Greater Toronto Area, including Mississauga, Brampton, Vaughan, Markham, and towns as far out as Oshawa and Whitby.
Alongside defence work, the firm also drafts affidavits for complainants and other people connected to a domestic case, sworn statements that can clarify what happened or set out a person's wishes for the court. Billing runs on block fees rather than hourly rates, and a free 15 minute phone consultation comes before any commitment. Payment plans are available, and the firm says clients get an upfront estimate so there are no surprise invoices as a case moves through the courts.
