He has devoted his professional career to not only representing those with financial means but also ensuring that the underprivileged and those facing discrimination are given equal access to the criminal legal system.

Many of Mr. Weisberg's criminal cases are high profile. His criminal cases have been written about in the top national media publications, including the National Post, Globe and Mail and the Toronto Star. He successfully argued that serious drug charges be dismissed in a case involving police misuse of Tasers against a defendant. The Tasering officers' version of events were not accepted by the trial judge and their actions were found to constitute "cruel and unusual punishment". In many cases, Mr. Weisberg has also successfully established breaches of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms against his clients. These Charter breaches have led to stays of prosecutions and exclusions of evidence leading to acquittals.
