About Tony

I am an experienced criminal defence lawyer handling cases throughout Manitoba. I have also worked as a Federal and Provincial Prosecutor and these experiences give me a unique insight in defending your case. I work with a team of 4 lawyers and together we will analyse your case and set out the best plan of attack. Although we are private lawyers, we do try and get you Legal Aid Manitoba coverage wherever possible to get us on your side.  We also give you a free consultation. So, whatever you do, get legal help, even if not us. Too much depends on it. Even if you think you are guilty, the state needs to prove it BEYOND A REASONABLE DOUBT. The law is complicated and so much can go wrong.

I am a former prosecutor with thousands of cases handled. Experienced leader: negotiation, advocacy and team-building. Independent adjudicator, experienced lecturer, teacher and mentor.

The justice system is confusing and ever-complex. It can be very brutal, cold and impersonal, especially to those Involved for the first time. My job is to guide, advise and educate. There is a tremendous amount that goes on behind the scenes. Experience, knowledge and common-sense counts.

We accept Credit Cards, Debit, Time Payments and Try to get you Legal Aid Coverage. We offer a free consultation and a range of fee arrangements. We can flat bill, so you don't have to worry about what it will cost.
