About Stastny Law

Stastny Law is a Toronto criminal defence firm that has practised since 2009, representing clients across the Greater Toronto Area and Ontario. It handles a wide range of charges, from driving offences and assault to drug offences, weapons and firearms charges, sexual offences, homicide and administration of justice matters. Its office at 2300 Yonge Street operates by appointment, and its lawyers can also meet clients elsewhere when a visit to the office isn't practical.

Managing lawyer Andrew Stastny holds a JD from the University of Toronto with a concentration in criminal procedure and evidence, and has appeared before the Ontario Court of Justice, the Superior Court of Justice and the Ontario Court of Appeal, with much of that work centered on drug and weapons cases and Charter challenges to police conduct. Associate Andrew Brownlee holds a law degree from the University of Edinburgh, a criminology degree from Western University, and belongs to the Criminal Lawyers' Association. Associate Jonathan Ioannidis began at a community legal clinic in Toronto before joining the firm. Stastny Law generally charges flat rates for defined services, moving to an hourly rate if representation ends before a case concludes, and it accepts legal aid.

The neighbourhood

Stastny Law's office sits on Yonge Street in midtown Toronto, near Eglinton subway station, but it isn't set up as a walk-in storefront. The office works by appointment only, and the firm's lawyers will meet clients at other locations when a trip to Yonge Street isn't practical. That arrangement fits a practice built to serve people across the wider Greater Toronto Area and Ontario rather than foot traffic from one block, since the firm's cases range from local driving offences to serious charges heard in courthouses well outside downtown Toronto.
