Rokni Law is a solo criminal defence practice on Yonge Street in Toronto, founded by Roza Rokni in 2016. Rokni earned a Bachelor of Arts with Honours in Criminology from York University, then completed a Juris Doctor in Australia. After articling at a criminal defence firm in Toronto, Rokni was called to the Ontario Bar and went on to practice criminal law at a firm in Ottawa before returning to Toronto to open the practice.
The firm concentrates on criminal defence, taking on charges that include theft, assault, domestic assault, sexual assault, criminal harassment, impaired driving and fraud, along with bail hearings. It also handles provincial offences under Ontario's Highway Traffic Act, such as careless driving, stunt driving and driving without insurance, and it extends into some civil work through Ontario's Small Claims Court, covering pleadings, settlement conferences, trials and appeals. Rokni Law rounds out its services with powers of attorney, notarization and affidavits. Rokni is fluent in Farsi and the firm accepts Legal Aid Certificates, and it belongs to the Criminal Lawyers' Association and the Defence Counsel Association of Ottawa.

The neighbourhood
Rokni Law's office sits on Yonge Street in Toronto, but the practice is not built around a single neighbourhood. The firm describes its reach as covering the Greater Toronto Area and further afield in Ontario, including Newmarket, Barrie, Orillia, Oshawa, Brampton, Milton, Hamilton and Kitchener, so the work is organized around travelling to court dates across that wider territory rather than staying close to home base.
Rokni is fluent in Farsi and the firm serves Persian-speaking clients in that language as well as English, alongside its English-language services.
