Clients rate this firm highly on Google.

Shen's Law Professional Corporation is a solo criminal defence practice run by Jake (Chen) Shen, who worked for years as a Toronto police officer before moving into law. Shen earned a J.D. from Osgoode Hall Law School, was accepted into the Criminal Intensive Program there, and completed a placement with the Crown Attorney's Office. Shen then articled at the Ontario Independent Police Review Director, working on police misconduct investigations, Ontario Civilian Police Commission appeals, and judicial reviews involving use of force and strip search procedures. The firm's domain name, 11d.ca, refers directly to section 11(d) of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, the right to be presumed innocent, which the firm describes as the principle behind the defences it builds for clients.

The practice handles assault, fraud, drug, and firearm charges among other criminal matters, with offices in Markham, Toronto, and Gilford serving clients across the Greater Toronto Area. Shen is fluent in Mandarin and is listed on Legal Aid Ontario's roster of criminal lawyers. The firm also publishes a blog that explains individual Criminal Code sections in plain language, covering offences from break and enter and robbery to drug trafficking and domestic assault.
