About Mirza Kwok, Defence Lawyers

Mirza Kwok, Defence Lawyers is a small Toronto criminal defence practice handling cases across the spectrum, from assault, fraud, and break and enter to bail hearings, drug and firearms charges, sexual offences, and murder, plus appeals through the Ontario courts and the Supreme Court of Canada. The firm also offers a second legal opinion service for people who already have a lawyer but want an independent read on their case. One of its two founding lawyers, Lambert Kwok, is an Osgoode Hall Law School graduate with a Bachelor of Science in Physical Therapy from McGill University who spent years as a Crown prosecutor in the Brampton and Mississauga courthouse, prosecuting cases that included aggravated assault, sexual assault, kidnapping, and murder, and was appointed prosecutorial team leader for the Peel division before moving into defence work.

The firm's other founding lawyer, Faisal Mirza, argued before the Supreme Court of Canada in January 2016 for the African Canadian Legal Clinic in a case that struck down a mandatory minimum drug possession sentence. Mirza was appointed a judge of the Ontario Superior Court of Justice in Brampton in September 2022. The practice has continued under Lambert Kwok since then, and the firm's site says its offices are now combining with Lalit Kalra of LK Legal and Kelly Gates of Gates Criminal Law, with a new joint website in the works.
