About Muia Criminal Law

Muia Criminal Law is a Vaughan, Ontario firm run by Maria Rosa Muia, who practices criminal law exclusively and represents clients in the Ontario Court of Justice and the Superior Court of Justice across the province. The office is on Chrislea Road in Vaughan's Woodbridge East neighbourhood, and the firm takes on cases ranging from bail hearings and bail reviews to sexual offence, fraud, violent crime, weapons, drug, and impaired driving charges. It's listed on the Legal Aid Ontario roster and accepts clients who hold a Legal Aid certificate.

Muia holds a Juris Doctor from Bond University in Gold Coast, Australia, and a Bachelor of Arts from the University of Toronto. Muia is a member of the Criminal Lawyers' Association and sits on its Recent Call Committee, was appointed by the Law Society of Ontario as a tutor for the barrister licensing examination, and serves as per diem duty counsel for the Central East region, representing people who appear in court without their own lawyer. Rather than billing by the hour, the firm sets block fees so clients have a clearer sense of what a case will cost before it starts, and it offers a complimentary 30-minute consultation, in person or remotely, to anyone already facing a charge.
