About Sabsay Lawyers
Sabsay Lawyers is a small Toronto firm that combines criminal defence, civil litigation, and tribunal advocacy under one roof. The team takes on charges across the board, from assault, fraud, and drug offences to impaired driving and white collar crime, and it also handles the civil suits and professional discipline complaints that can follow from a criminal allegation. The firm works out of the Fashion Building at 130 Spadina Avenue, an eight storey heritage building put up in 1926 and 1927 for the Fashion Cloak Company Limited and added to Toronto's heritage register in 1989, and it takes clients from across Ontario.
Principal Lorne Sabsay was called to the Ontario bar in 1987 and is certified as a Specialist in Criminal Law by the Law Society of Ontario. Sabsay's practice grew into civil litigation in 2001, with a focus on lawsuits that arise out of criminal allegations. Associate Patrick Colquhoun, called to the bar in 2023, and Roselyn Kelada-Sedra, called in 2016 after an earlier career in journalism, round out the legal team. The firm also represents students facing academic misconduct hearings and professionals in regulated fields such as teaching, nursing, and engineering who are facing discipline complaints.
