About M Kay Law
M Kay Law is a solo criminal defence practice based in downtown Toronto. Founder Michael Kachkar grew up in Toronto, moved to the United States, and earned a Juris Doctor in New York before returning to Canada to practice law. After committing to criminal defence work, Kachkar founded M Kay Law and has since represented clients in both the Ontario Court of Justice and the Superior Court of Justice.
The firm takes on a wide range of criminal matters, from theft, fraud, and mischief charges to assault, sexual assault, sexual interference, domestic violence, and drug and gun offences, along with more serious charges such as robbery and murder. It also handles impaired driving cases and breaches of probation or release conditions. Although the office is in downtown Toronto, M Kay Law appears at courthouses across the Greater Toronto Area and elsewhere in Ontario, including Newmarket, Oshawa, Brampton, Kitchener, Hamilton, Barrie, Belleville, and Peterborough. The firm is on the Legal Aid Ontario roster and offers service in English and Russian.
Practice areas
Who handles what
The neighbourhood
M Kay Law's office is in the Fashion Building at Spadina Avenue and Richmond Street, in the part of downtown Toronto now known as the Fashion District. The area was once lined with textile and garment factories and warehouses that took advantage of nearby shipping and rail access, and many of those old buildings have since been converted into offices, condos, and restaurants. It's a fitting downtown base for a criminal defence practice that doesn't stay close to home. The firm has argued cases at courthouses well outside Toronto too, from Barrie and Newmarket to Kitchener, Hamilton, and Peterborough, so the office serves more as a home base than a neighbourhood practice.
