About Sondhi Defence

Clients rate this firm highly on Google.

Sondhi Defence is a criminal defence and real estate law firm with an office at 1211 Gorham Street in Newmarket, plus locations in Aurora and Minden that put it within reach of Haliburton County and courthouses across southern Ontario. Ankush Sondhi founded the firm in 2018 after beginning a legal career with Legal Aid Ontario in 2013, being called to the Ontario bar in 2014, and spending several years as duty counsel at the Newmarket courthouse. The firm still accepts Legal Aid and offers a free initial consultation.

The criminal side of the practice covers charges ranging from assault, drug, and weapons offences up to murder and drug trafficking cases, handled in the Ontario Court of Justice and the Superior Court of Justice. A separate real estate department closes residential and commercial transactions and handles mortgage refinancing and private lending files, drawing on decades of law clerk experience on that team. The firm's lawyers work in multiple languages, and the team points to extensive courtroom experience across Ontario.
