Criminal law firm in Toronto, Ontario -Adam Weisberg


Mr. Weisberg is a criminal lawyer practising in Toronto, Ontario.  He specializes in criminal trial and criminal appellate work, including defending allegations of  homicide, sexual assault, drug trafficking, robbery, major fraud, and driving offences. 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 national media, 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.

Mr. Weisberg obtained his law degree from Queen’s University at Kingston. He articled at a leading national business law firm and worked with another leading Toronto criminal lawyer prior to joining and becoming a partner at the criminal law firm of Pinkofskys and then starting his own law firm.
