Aitken Robertson Criminal Law Office in North York

Only a few steps away from the North York Ontario Court of Justice, Aitken Robertson proudly provides the community with a team of experienced, supportive, and affordable criminal trial lawyers.

Clients at our North York location will work primarily with lawyer Edmund Chan, a litigator with decades of experience in cases of DUIs, sexual assault, fraud, theft, mischief and breach of recognizance and probation. Edmund is aided by paralegal Jami Sanftleben, who provide advice and services to clients facing provincial and regulatory offences. All of our staff are guided by founding lawyer Richard Aitken, who brings over 35 years of criminal law experience to the aid of his clients.

Aitken Robertson ensure its services are available to all clients, regardless of financial status, by offering flat rate billing and interest free payment plans. Through our free 30-minute consultations, our lawyers assess your case to help you understand what outcomes are possible as well as the cost of your defence. To keep the stress of paying legal fees down, our interest free payment plans allow you to pay in smaller installments over a long period of time, rather than all at once. Our goal is to make navigating the legal system as manageable as possible for you.

Our lawyers are available for free consultations at 1000 Finch Ave West, Suite 600, North York. Contact us to set up a meeting (in-person, by telephone, or virtually by Zoom or Google Meet), so we can begin fighting your charges.

After leaving a Christmas Party in Dec of 2014, I was pulled over and asked to provide a Breath Sample. I failed that Road Side Breath Sample, was charged with refusing to provide a breath sample at the station and spent a period of time in the cells. After being released, I had to make the necessary choice of selecting legal representation. After reviewing a number of firms, I opted to select Aitken Robertson because of their courteous staff and reputation.

I had the pleasure of having Edmund Chan as my defense lawyer. Edmund is a very well received and informed professional, with years of experience. I was facing a year without my license and having to install a breathalyzer in my vehicle thereafter. This would have ruined my career, increase my stress levels and overall, monetarily.

Edmund decided we use the collaboration of the breath sampling machine as our main defense due to it not being collaborated properly. The result of the matter was that the Crown dismissed the charges due to Edmund’s devastating and jarring questioning.

I couldn’t be happier with the result and have since felt the weight of the world release. I would urge anyone in the precarious circumstances to let Aitken Robertson defend you and your livelihood.

Everyone at Aitken Robertson proved their worth at every engagement. Kind, understanding and respectful. Ultimately, they were trying their best to accomplish a satisfied client. Even at the beginning, they supplied me with their book, which highlighted a lot of the feelings and emotions I was encountering, in turn defusing a lot of those feelings. Although you may not win, you certainly have a very chance with Aitken Robertson.
