About Neuman & Grant
Neuman & Grant is a small Toronto criminal law firm run by Ilan Neuman, who was called to the Ontario bar on April 15, 1980, has practiced law for more than 35 years, and now practices criminal law exclusively. The firm traces its name back to Grant, Grant & Hardy. After partner Gordon Grant died, the practice continued under the name Neuman & Grant starting in 1980. Its work covers the Criminal Code, the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act, and prosecutions under other federal and provincial statutes. The office is at 130 Spadina Avenue in Toronto's Fashion District.
Neuman also holds a Nunavut law society membership, called to the bar there on January 1, 2017. The firm lists membership in the Criminal Lawyers' Association and the Toronto Lawyers' Association, sits on the Gladue Panel for First Nations and Aboriginal representation, and takes part in an Administrative Tribunal Panel handling Charter applications. Neuman & Grant describes itself as an inclusive practice: it says no client is turned away except for a conflict of interest or a disagreement over retainer and terms of engagement.

Who handles what
The neighbourhood
Neuman & Grant's office sits inside the Fashion Building at 130 Spadina Avenue, an eight storey warehouse style building put up between 1926 and 1927 for The Fashion Cloak Company Limited and added to Toronto's heritage register in 1989. The address falls in what's still called the city's Fashion District. The building's entryway keeps its original diamond pattern terrazzo floor, a small holdover from the block's manufacturing era.
