About The Law Offices of Mark Zinck

The Law Offices of Mark Zinck is a sole practitioner criminal defence firm based in downtown Toronto. Founder Mark Zinck was called to the Ontario bar in 2011 and is also admitted to the bar in Nova Scotia. Zinck holds an LLB from Dalhousie Law School and a BA from St. Thomas University, and the firm's site credits Zinck with the Canada Millennium Excellence Award (2004) and an Outstanding Scholars Award (2001) from those student years.

The practice is limited to criminal defence, and it covers charges across Ontario rather than just the GTA, from theft, mischief, and assault through to DUI, drug charges, and more serious matters like sexual assault. According to the firm, clients don't need to meet in person; it represents people throughout the province without requiring them to travel to its Richmond Street office, which operates by appointment only. Work is billed as a flat fee, and the firm doesn't take on legal aid certificate cases, so every file is a private retainer. It also offers a less common service: helping an alleged victim in a domestic case prepare an affidavit for the Crown aimed at getting no-contact conditions lifted.

The firm's site says Zinck's legal opinions have appeared in national and local media, including the National Post, Global National, and the Toronto Star, and that Zinck has personally handled over 2,000 criminal defence cases.
