Daniel Freudman | Toronto Criminal Lawyer

Client facing numerous charges including sexual assault and human trafficking; Crown was seeking lengthy term of imprisonment upon conviction. Several media outlets reported on the incident, vilifying client despite the presumption of innocence. I hired a private investigator to expose serious inconsistencies in complainant's story and ultimately was able to get Crown to unconditionally drop all charges. I then contacted media outlets to request they rectify their reports to reflect client's innocence. Client was vindicated, able to return to his schooling without the hindrance of any criminal record.

Individual attention to each and every client, with specific knowledge of their case at all times, and able to be reached at any given time to discuss such.

Someone they can trust and confide in. The more open and comfortable a client is with their lawyer, the better able the lawyer is to understand and assist with the case.

Knowledge of friendly parties (i.e. Crowns, Judges, opposing counsel) is very important, as knowing who I'm dealing with allows me to determine the best case strategy and reach the most favourable result.

Each case is different. Sometimes a full assessment can be made as to the merits of a case and best manner in which to proceed. Other times, merely a cost breakdown can be given, with further substantive advice to be given during an in-person meeting.

Name, contact information, and pertinent case information, e.g. upcoming court dates, courthouse, etc.

I offer very personalized legal services; I do not delegate significant tasks to others, I do them personally. I give each and every client my cell phone number, which is on 24/7, so they can always reach me (rather than a receptionist, assistant or answering service) with any urgent inquiries.

Obtaining successful case results, thereby validating the client's decision to put their faith in me.

I enjoy playing and watching hockey, and engaging in other adventure activities such as mountain biking and kitesurfing. I also like travelling, seeing different cultures and learning different languages.

I do my best to assist with at least one pro bono case each month within my community.

• Case History
  In an action against the Toronto Police Services Board and other private citizens for negligent investigation and malicious prosecution, Daniel successfully defeated a Motion brought by one of the Defendants to strike the client's Statement of Claim. As Daniel won the Motion, his client was able to proceed with the case, and was also awarded $1,500 in costs.

• Case History
  Client charged with Driving While Impaired by Drug. Crown called several civilian and police witnesses, as well as a toxicologist who testified that traces of three different drugs were found in client's urine sample. Nevertheless, Daniel was able to secure a complete acquittal for client by raising a reasonable doubt as to whether such drugs impaired client's ability to operate a motor vehicle.
