100/10 for Elise Brass! Such an outstanding lawyer and a wonderful person :) I’m incredibly grateful to Elise for the way she handled my case and for the outcome she was able to get for me. From the very beginning, she was professional, communicative, and genuinely took the time to listen to my concerns and explain everything clearly. I initially had another lawyer representing me (outside of Aitken Robertson's law firm), but unfortunately, I was not seeing the progress or results I had hoped for. After switching to Elise, I felt that my case was taken more seriously. She approached everything with a clear strategy, kept me informed throughout the process, and worked hard to achieve the best possible result. I’m so glad I made the decision to switch lawyers. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a lawyer who is knowledgeable, compassionate, and truly committed to her clients. I can’t thank her enough for everything she did for me:)! I would also like to thank the owner, Richard Aitken, for taking the time to discuss my case in my initial consultation and ensuring that my case was assigned to the appropriate lawyer. Aitken Robertson's firm genuinely cares about its clients. From start to finish, I felt supported and knew I was in good hands. I highly recommend this firm and Elise Brass to anyone looking for dedicated and compassionate legal representation:)) Thank you, Elise! All the best in your career! you truly deserve it:)

5/5 Stars – Exceptional Representation by Rawi Asghar I want to extend my sincere thanks to the team at Aitken Robertson for setting up a manageable payment plan that allowed me to move forward with my case. However, my deepest gratitude goes entirely to my lawyer, Rawi Asghar, who handled all of the legal work and truly took care of me. Entering this legal process on such a tight timeline was incredibly stressful, and the odds felt completely stacked against me. Facing a looming trial was daunting, but Rawi stepped in with a level of expertise, dedication, and strategic brilliance that immediately gave me confidence. He even worked through his vacation to ensure everything was handled perfectly under such a tight crunch. Thanks to his tireless efforts and outstanding advocacy, Rawi accomplished the best possible outcome: all of my charges were completely withdrawn before the trial even began. Throughout the entire process, Rawi kept me informed, calm, and reassured every step of the way. He is an absolute powerhouse of a lawyer who truly fights for his clients. If you are facing serious legal challenges and need a lawyer who delivers real results when it matters most, I highly recommend Rawi Asghar. He truly gave me my life back. Thank you , Aitken and team , But mostly , thank YOU Rawi Asghar

Aitken Robertson acted very quickly. We called after hours and were able to speak to a representative and actually had a lawyer contact us back that night. We were able to speak with Rawi in the morning and he was able to represent our son at a bail hearing that day at noon. He was able to negotiate a fair bail with very reasonable conditions. Definitely would recomment

Recent Belleville Cases & Success Stories

CASE STUDY: Spousal Assault in Belleville

Our client Mr. C, and the complainant were involved in a long-term relationship. Despite being in a committed relationship, both parties resided separately, neither had a criminal history, and there were no previous reports of physical violence between the two beforehand.

CASE STUDY: Impaired Driving, Over 80, Open Liquor

The police allegedly saw our client with an open container of alcohol in the car with him. The police claim that Mr. Q failed his Approved Screening Device Test at the time of his arrest. Having no previous criminal record, this was understandably a difficult situation for Mr. Q to find himself in.

CASE STUDY: Domestic Assault in Belleville

Ms. S and the complainant were in a relationship for slightly over 2.5 years when the incident took place. Ms. S, who has a small child and is the primary caregiver for her elderly parent, engaged in a heated argument with the complainant over gambling funds. The altercation escalated with shouting, name-calling, and threats exchanged between them. Pushing ensued, prompting the complainant to contact the authorities.

CASE STUDY: Spousal Assault with a Weapon in Belleville

After a long day, Mr. K and his partner had an argument one evening. It was alleged that during the altercation, he threw a picture frame at the complainant. Compounding the situation, alcohol was involved, and minor children were present in the home at the time of the incident.

Belleville Crime Snapshot

*Per available police information.

  • Belleville’s a bit of a small place, so outliers in some times can have big statistical impacts;
  • For instance, the homicide/attempted homicide rate in the fourth quarter of 2024 was 100% lower than during the fourth quarter of 2023;
  • This is true, but reporting it like this would obscure the fact that the actual amount of attempted murders decreased from one to zero;
  • In any case, the final quarter of 2024 seems to have seen general decreases in the crime rate to the point of about 10%;
  • The severity of the crimes committed similarly fell by 5.7% in 2024 (year over year);
  • Belleville’s a lovely place to visit, and it seems to be getting safer.
