She is a highly effective advocate for civil litigants and individuals facing Canada’s criminal justice system alike. Jessica is always focussed on protecting a client’s rights during criminal and civil proceedings. As both a criminal defence lawyer and a civil litigator, she leverages her skills, knowledge, and experience to provide clients with a unified legal strategy and defence for all of their complex legal issues.

Jessica, who is both a Toronto criminal defence lawyer and a Toronto civil litigator, specializes in the intersection of criminal law and civil litigation and the difficulties that both may pose to a defendant or complainant/plaintiff, when faced with multiple court proceedings at the same time.

She understands the competing interests of criminal defence litigation and civil litigation. For example, in civil litigation, a defendant may be compelled to disclose information at an examination for discovery, in comparison to a defendant in a criminal proceeding who has the right to remain silent. The difference in the burden of proof, coupled with the delicate balance of varied rights, underlines the need for a comprehensive strategy that only a lawyer like criminal defence lawyer and civil litigator Jessica, understands and advocates on behalf of her clients.

So, if you are facing criminal charges as well as civil allegations, a Toronto criminal defence lawyer and Toronto civil litigator like Jessica can be a huge asset to helping you resolve your complicated legal issues.
