About Lockyer Zaduk Zeeh

Clients rate this firm highly on Google.

Lockyer Zaduk Zeeh is a criminal defence firm based in Liberty Village in Toronto, at 102 Atlantic Avenue. The firm takes its name from three founding partners, James Lockyer, Peter Zaduk, and Craig Zeeh, and now has five partners and ten associates, 15 lawyers in total, handling criminal, regulatory, and provincial offence matters at trial and on appeal across Ontario and Canada.

Founding partner James Lockyer has practiced criminal law for fifty years and, since 1992, has focused on investigating and overturning wrongful convictions. As a founding director of Innocence Canada, Lockyer worked on the exonerations of David Milgaard, Steven Truscott, and James Driskell, and was made a member of the Order of Canada in December 2018. Founding partner Peter Zaduk studied law under Lockyer before being called to the Ontario Bar in 1978. The Law Society certified Zaduk as a Specialist in Criminal Litigation in 1991, and over a career spanning four decades Zaduk has handled 45 murder trials, with favourable outcomes in most of them.

In the community

  • Before moving into full time criminal practice, Lockyer taught as an Assistant Professor of Law at McGill University from 1972 to 1973 and at the University of Windsor from 1974 to 1977.
