About Kate

As a mother, I know that life can be demanding and that your time is valuable.   Dealing with a criminal charge is not just about what happens in court.  It’s about the impact the charge has on my client, their family and friends, and their everyday life.  I work with my clients to ensure that their time involved in the criminal justice system goes as smoothly as possible – be that through strong advocacy fighting for an acquittal, referrals to community resources to address issues that led to being charged or simply helping my clients understand the system itself.    I will do everything I can to get you back to where you want and need to be: living your life.

Since being called to the Bar in 2007, I have had the pleasure of assisting clients in relation to many different offences, in many different cities and before a number of judges and tribunals.   And just like my twins, while there can be a lot of similarities between cases, each case is different and deserves its own unique game plan.

An avid Ottawa Senators fan, I will often be found cheering on the home team during hockey season.  During the summer, look for me on the ball diamond.

While my home base is in Ottawa, my practice has taken me to various cities such as Cornwall, L’Orignal, Brockville, Pembroke, and places in between. I have appeared before judges of the Ontario Court of Justice and the Superior Court of Justice.
