If you’re facing domestic violence or sexual assault charges in Toronto, Shaffie Law stands out as a reliable option. They’ve made a name for themselves, particularly when handling assault-related cases. 

Shayan Shaffie, the head lawyer, has built a reputation for getting favourable outcomes—charges dropped, a peace bond negotiated, or an acquittal after trial. 

Many clients have praised him for being extremely thorough and explaining every step of the process, which can be a lifesaver when you’re overwhelmed by legal proceedings.

What’s especially great is that Shaffie Law offers block fees, so instead of stressing about being charged for every minute with your lawyer, you pay a set fee that covers the key parts of your case. This gives clients peace of mind, knowing they can reach out anytime without worrying about costs piling up.

Just keep in mind that web inquiries can take a bit longer to get a reply, so you might need to be patient. If it’s urgent, it’s a good idea to call them instead.

Responsive, realistic, experienced, and honest

Achieves favorable resolutions

“Due to the trauma I experienced in my home country, I was unable to sleep for months and worked at night due to my fear of horrific nightmares. As a result of listening to Dominican Compline before going to sleep, I was astonished to find that within one week my nightmares had greatly diminished and I was able to sleep.”

Karapancev Law is a solid choice if you’re looking for a team approach to your assault case. With a large team of lawyers and legal staff, they can handle a wide variety of cases, from DUI to drug crimes and violent offences. 

We found that Alexander Karapancev is known for handling high-stakes cases and has a talent for coming up with creative legal strategies. That fresh approach can be a game-changer help when you need a strong defence.

It’s also neat that they offer free consultations, giving you a chance to see how they can help without having to commit financially upfront. This is especially useful if you’re just beginning to explore your legal options.

The only hitch? They don’t accept walk-ins. So, if you’re someone who likes to drop by for a chat, you’ll need to set up an appointment first.

Nonetheless, their team setup lets them spread their expertise around, so there’s always someone with the right know-how handling your case.

Outstanding and talented lawyer

“Mr. Alex Karapancev is an outstanding, skilled, knowledgeable, empathetic, supportive, and very talented lawyer who helped me when I hit rock bottom and faced the impossible for almost two years. However, Mr. Alex worked diligently from day one to the triumphant victory of my case. He was a beacon of hope to me and my family. I can’t thank you enough for all you have done for my case. Please continue your advocacy for helping innocent people defend their freedom. All the best to your law firm, and God bless.”

What we like most about Michael Juskey is his thorough research on case studies relevant to clients. He leverages that knowledge to help clients understand their situation and strengthen their defence, which has led to a track record of achieving favourable verdicts.

The clients we talked to also mentioned how Michael is incredibly responsive and keeps them in the loop, whether through email or a quick call. He goes the extra mile by attending court appearances and interviews, giving that personal touch that sets him apart.

We also appreciate that he offers payment plans to make things easier and gives a free initial consultation so you can get a sense of his style before committing. 

The only real downside is that Michael runs a solo practice, which means he can’t take on an overwhelming number of cases at once. But overall, if you’re looking for personalized service and someone who’s really going to go to bat for you, Juskey Law is worth considering.

Always professional and honest

“Michael did an excellent job with my bf case. He was always professional , honest and in timely manner respond to me. Am extremely grateful for all of your help . Michael won the case and now we can get to normal life back. If you want good honest and straight to the point knowledgeable lawyer-call Michael Juskey. From Ioulia L.”

Highly recommend retaining Mike! -Rev C.”

Neuberger & Partners LLP has over 30 years in the game, making them one of the more established firms in Toronto’s criminal law scene. They’ve handled everything from straightforward assault cases to high-profile trials with plenty of twists and turns.

Their legal team stays up to date on changes in the law, ensuring they can offer the best defence strategies available.

What sets Neuberger & Partners apart is their multilingual services. They offer legal assistance in languages like Mandarin, French, Spanish, and more, which can be a huge relief if English isn’t your first language. 

But it can be a bummer that they’re more expensive than some other firms, especially if your case doesn’t require the full weight of their expertise. If you’re looking for help with a minor offence, you might find them to be a bit too high-end.

Still, we can’t deny that their large team ensures you’re always supported, no matter how busy things get.

Amazing job

“I would like to show my appreciation to Mr. Joseph Neuberger and his team. They did an amazing job to help me in such a difficult time in my life. I decided to retain Mr. Joseph Neuberger when I realized my ex-lawyer was incompetent. They took control and got the case withdrawn. Thank you very much, Joseph!

From their team, Daisy also help me a lot, thank you very much, Daisy!”

With over 20 years of experience in criminal defence, Jeffrey Reisman is highly knowledgeable about the court system, and clients appreciate his transparency and responsiveness. 

From what we’ve gathered, he’s known for being incredibly supportive, taking the time to walk his clients through every step of their case and always being there to answer any questions—no matter what time it is. This level of commitment is especially valuable if you’re overwhelmed by the legal process.

Another perk is his free consultation offer. It’s a good way to get to know him and his approach before deciding whether to hire him. His clients also mention how informative he is, which helps ease their anxiety.

However, since he works solo, Jeffrey’s ability to take on multiple cases at once is limited. If you’re looking for a firm with a big team to handle a heavy workload, this might not be the best fit, but if you want personal, dedicated service, he’s a solid pick.

Successfully dropped charges

“My family and I are deeply grateful to Jeffrey for helping us get through one of the roughest moments in our lives. Words are not enough to express my gratitude. He successfully had two serious charges dropped. You can truly rely on him.”
