Why Clients Choose Mor Fisher LLP
When you are facing criminal charges in Ontario, the lawyer you choose determines how your case is handled from the first court appearance through to resolution or trial. At Mor Fisher LLP, we practise criminal and quasi-criminal defence — criminal charges, regulatory and provincial offences, and advice to people and businesses under investigation. That is all we do, and we do it every day in courtrooms and tribunals across Central Ontario.
Our team of criminal defence lawyers handles the full range of serious charges: impaired driving and dangerous driving, domestic assault, sexual assault, drug trafficking, firearms offences, fraud, robbery, and youth criminal charges. Whether the case calls for aggressive negotiation, a Charter challenge, or a full jury trial, we build a defence strategy tailored to the facts and the client.
We accept Legal Aid certificates and offer transparent, flat-fee billing for most matters. If you have been charged, contact us for a free initial consultation — the earlier we get involved, the stronger your defence will be.
Trusted by clients across Ontario to fight for the outcomes that matter.
