Clients rate this firm highly on Google.
Lindsay Law is a small criminal defence firm in Toronto's North York area, set up in 1996 by Peter Lindsay as Peter Robert Lindsay Professional Corporation. It practices exclusively in criminal and quasi-criminal law, a narrower focus than most general firms. Lindsay was called to the Bar of Ontario in 1991, spent a few years in civil and criminal litigation, then moved into criminal law full time in 1994. The firm's own site credits Lindsay as counsel on over 300 reported cases, with a particular emphasis on impaired driving defences.
Three more lawyers round out the team. Hamna Anwar holds a law degree from the University of Ottawa, Nikita Da Silva trained at the University of Guyana and Sir Hugh Wooding Law School in Trinidad before articling at the firm, and Aleena Mahmood came from Queen's Law after a science degree at McMaster. Between the four lawyers the office covers impaired driving, assault, drug and firearm charges, domestic violence, bail hearings and youth court, and it takes appeals as far as the Supreme Court of Canada. It also offers translation onsite in any language, including Urdu, Punjabi and Hindi.
