EXPERTISE
Edward H. Royle & Partners LLP is a full-service criminal defence firm covering trial and appeal matters in the Greater Toronto Area and beyond.
We handle a wide variety of criminal charges under the Criminal Code of Canada and the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act, including theft, drug possession/trafficking, firearms offences, property offences, impaired driving/driving “over 80”, breaches of court orders, assault, sexual assault, and homicide.
As a full-service firm, we are able to manage your criminal case at every stage of proceedings: providing counsel upon arrest, bail hearings, bail variations, first and subsequent court appearances, judicial pre–trials, preliminary inquiries, trials in both the Ontario Court of Justice and Superior Court of Justice, and appeals from conviction and/or sentence to the Ontario Court of Justice, Superior Court of Justice, Ontario Court of Appeal, and Supreme Court of Canada.
Although we are primarily devoted to defending criminal matters, we are also experienced in defending matters of a quasi–criminal nature including traffic tickets, provincial offences and regulatory offences.
If you require any of these services, please contact us promptly to arrange a meeting.
The first consultation is always free of charge and can be arranged to fit your schedule.
Although our office is located in downtown Toronto, our criminal defence firm represents clients outside Toronto as well.
We regularly attend court in cities such as Brampton, Oshawa, Newmarket, Milton, Hamilton, Brantford, Orangeville, Barrie, Orillia, Guelph, Kitchener, St. Catharines, and Welland.
Our diverse team of criminal defence lawyers and articling students can communicate with you in Spanish, Cantonese, Urdu, Punjabi, Hindi, Tamil, Serbian, Croatian, Bosnian, and Arabic.
FIRM PROFILE
Being charged with a criminal offence can be overwhelming. The criminal justice system is highly complex and trying to navigate it alone is not only intimidating, but also potentially harmful to your interests.
Our system forces an individual accused to defend himself against a Crown prosecutor with all the resources of the state at their disposal.
The importance of obtaining effective legal representation in a timely fashion cannot be underestimated.
You need a highly skilled and experienced criminal defence lawyer to defend your interests and fight for your rights.
If you have been convicted of a criminal offence, it may be possible to set aside the conviction and/or reduce the sentence by appealing to a higher court. The criminal appeal process is extremely difficult, complex, and lengthy.
To maximize the likelihood of winning your appeal, choose a lawyer who specializes in criminal appeals and can present your case thoroughly, persuasively, and in a timely manner.
Edward H. Royle & Partners LLP practices exclusively in the area of criminal law, and is one of the largest criminal defence firms in Toronto and the Greater Toronto Area.
Founded by senior practitioner, Edward (“Ted”) H. Royle, a lawyer with over 30 years of experience, the members of our criminal defence firm have appeared at all levels of criminal court in Canada, including the Ontario Court of Appeal and the Supreme Court of Canada.
Although our office is conveniently located in downtown Toronto, we regularly attend court in cities outside Toronto, including Brampton, Oshawa, Newmarket, Milton, Hamilton, Brantford, Orangeville, Barrie, Orillia, Guelph, Kitchener, St. Catharines, and Welland.
We boast a diverse team of criminal defence lawyers and articling students who can communicate with you in other languages such as Spanish, Cantonese, Urdu, Punjabi, Hindi, Tamil, Serbian, Croatian, Bosnian, and Arabic.

LAWYERS
Choosing which criminal defence firm to represent you is one of the most important decisions you will make in relation to your criminal charge or conviction. There is much at stake.
If you are convicted at trial or if your conviction is upheld on appeal, you could be burdened with a criminal record for the rest of your life, go to jail or prison, lose your job, lose your family, and even be deported.
Meanwhile, the party you are fighting, the Crown prosecutor, possesses all the resources of the state at their disposal.
At Edward H. Royle & Partners LLP, we care about our clients and we do everything we can to help them obtain the best possible results. We are well equipped to do so.
