Wilson Defence

About Wilson Defence

Wilson Defence PC is a Toronto criminal defence practice founded by Chloe Wilson, who holds a Bachelor of Laws from New Zealand and a Master of Laws from Osgoode Hall Law School. The firm takes on criminal matters at every stage, from pre-trial negotiation and bail hearings through trial and appeals. The firm defends a wide range of charges, including theft, break and enter, and impaired driving, as well as drug offences, sexual offences, harassment and threats, and youth offences handled under the Youth Criminal Justice Act.

Wilson is fluent in English and French and takes cases well beyond Toronto; the firm's website lists coverage across Ontario, including Hamilton, Brampton, Barrie, Kitchener, London, and Sudbury. Rather than billing by the hour, Wilson Defence works on a block fee basis, so a client agrees on the cost of a matter before it proceeds, with the rate set by the nature of the charge, its complexity, and how time sensitive it is. Wilson is also listed on Legal Aid Ontario's roster of lawyers under criminal law and Gladue reports, the sentencing submissions that ask a court to weigh an Indigenous offender's circumstances and history.
