About Newby Sabet LLP

Newby Sabet LLP is a small law firm in downtown Toronto, founded by Trudi-Ann Newby-Parkes and Marjan Singh. The two lawyers built the firm around a shared practice in criminal defence, immigration, and family law, and between them they've appeared in trials and motions in the Ontario Court of Justice and the Superior Court of Justice, as well as before the Immigration Appeal Division and the Federal Court of Canada.

Newby-Parkes leads the firm's criminal defence and immigration work. Born in Jamaica, Newby-Parkes moved to Canada at age 13 and has since assisted clients with spousal, humanitarian and compassionate, pre-removal risk assessment, and work permit applications, along with criminal trials, jury trials, bail hearings, and detention reviews. Singh, called to the Ontario bar in June 2018 after studying criminology and psychology at York University, handles family law matters including divorce, parenting disputes, spousal and child support, and property division. Both lawyers hold their LL.B from the University of Birmingham.

The neighbourhood

Newby Sabet LLP's office is in the Richmond-Adelaide Centre at 120 Adelaide Street West, a highrise complex in downtown Toronto. The building connects directly into the PATH, Toronto's underground pedestrian network, so clients can reach the office from nearby downtown buildings and transit stops without going outside. It's a business address among office towers rather than a neighbourhood storefront, which suits a two lawyer firm whose work centres on court appearances rather than walk-in traffic.
