About Wisener Law

Wisener Law is a solo criminal defence practice based in Markham, Ontario, run by lawyer Sheldon Wisener. Wisener was called to the bar in 1986 and has spent decades in courtrooms across York Region, Toronto, and southern Ontario, handling charges that range from theft, fraud, and drug trafficking to assault, sexual assault, and more serious matters such as attempted murder.

Before turning to defence work, Wisener spent 16 years as a part-time Assistant Crown Attorney in Newmarket, prosecuting many of the same kinds of cases the firm now defends. Wisener has also served as a Director of the Criminal Lawyers Association of Ontario, sat on the board of the York Region Law Association, and was appointed in 2003 to the Personal Rights Panel of the Office of the Children's Lawyer. The office on Crown Steel Drive serves as the firm's Markham base, though the practice regularly travels to courts in Newmarket, Milton, Brampton, Bradford, Barrie, Oshawa, and Toronto.
