Pyzer Criminal Lawyers announced the continuation of its criminal defence practice serving clients throughout Ontario, including the Greater Toronto Area and surrounding municipalities. The law firm, established in 2002, provides criminal defence representation across multiple jurisdictions, including Toronto, Barrie, Mississauga, Brampton, Scarborough, Hamilton, Oshawa, and Newmarket.
The firm operates from its downtown Toronto location and handles criminal defence cases across various categories of offences. Service areas include assault offences, sexual offences, driving offences, property offences, murder charges, drug offences, weapons offences, and matters involving young offenders. The firm also provides representation at bail hearings.
“Criminal defence requires thorough case preparation and detailed knowledge of applicable law,” said a representative of Pyzer Criminal Lawyers. “Our practice has handled criminal defence matters in Ontario courts for more than two decades, and we continue to represent clients facing charges across multiple offence categories.”
Pyzer Criminal Lawyers operates with a team that includes defence attorneys Jonathan Pyzer and Jasmine Mann. The firm previously included attorney Ian Kostman on its legal team. Support staff includes Bhishm Khanna, an internationally trained lawyer, and Melissa Mendieta, who serves as Law Clerk. The firm’s attorneys hold licenses from the Law Society of Ontario and maintain memberships in the Criminal Lawyers’ Association and the Toronto Lawyers Association.
The firm’s practice encompasses representation in cases involving assault charges ranging from simple assault to aggravated assault, assault with a weapon, criminal harassment, uttering threats, forcible confinement, and kidnapping. Sexual offence representation includes sexual assault, sexual interference, invitation to sexual touching, voyeurism, and matters involving intimate images.
Driving offence representation addresses impaired driving charges, driving over the legal blood alcohol limit, refusing breath samples, dangerous driving, drug-related driving under the influence, and failure to stop. Property offence cases include break and enter, armed robbery, robbery with violence, robbery with a firearm, theft, credit card possession, possession of stolen property, fraud, and identity theft.
“Each criminal case presents distinct factual circumstances and legal considerations,” said Pyzer. “Our approach involves examining the evidence, identifying applicable defences, and determining the most appropriate legal strategy based on the particulars of each situation.”
The firm handles serious charges, including first-degree murder, second-degree murder, and manslaughter. Drug offence representation encompasses possession, importing, production, distribution, and trafficking charges. Weapons offence cases include unauthorised possession of a weapon, possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose, carrying a concealed weapon, and firearm trafficking.
Pyzer Criminal Lawyers provides representation at various stages of criminal proceedings, including bail hearings, negotiations with Crown prosecutors, and trial proceedings. The firm conducts initial case evaluations and consultations at no charge to potential clients. Confidentiality protocols are maintained for all client communications.
The firm operates on a 24-hour availability basis for client contact. Legal representation is provided to clients throughout Ontario, with case acceptance determined on an individual basis following initial consultation and case review. The firm’s practice areas cover offences prosecuted under federal and provincial legislation.
