Ernst Ashurov Law is a sole criminal defence and family law practice in Richmond Hill, Ontario. Ernst Ashurov has been licensed to practise in both Ontario and New York State since February 2000 and takes on criminal defence, family law, corporate and commercial matters, and wills and powers of attorney. The practice is on Legal Aid Ontario's roster and can take Legal Aid certificates in eligible criminal cases, and it offers services in English, Russian, and Hebrew.
Ashurov was born in Baku, Azerbaijan, moved to Moscow as a teenager, and immigrated to Canada in 1992, settling first in Montreal, where a job as a legal assistant preceded law school. A law degree came from Queen's University's Faculty of Law in Kingston, where the Gowling, Strathy and Henderson Award for Secured Transactions and Insolvency (1997) and the David Sabbath Prize in Administrative Law (1998) were earned before graduation that year. Articling followed at the Toronto criminal firm Adler Bytensky, and the Richmond Hill practice was established after admission to the bar.
