Christian Pearce - Criminal Lawyer, Scarborough, ON

Born and raised in Toronto, I earned a degree in political science from Wilfrid Laurier University in Waterloo and my law degree from the University of British Columbia's Faculty of Law in Vancouver.

Before being called to the Ontario bar, I articled with the Canadian Civil Liberties Association (CCLA) in Toronto. As an articling fellow with CCLA, I made significant contributions to the organization's submissions to courts and governments on issues ranging from mandatory minimum sentences to random breath testing.

Since my call, I have acted as a dedicated and effective advocate for those charged with criminal offences. I have appeared in Provincial and Superior court in and around Toronto, including in Brampton, Newmarket, Burlington, and other area courthouses. I am a member of the Law Society of Upper Canada, the Criminal Lawyers' Association, the Ontario Bar Association, and Legal Aid Ontario's criminal law panel.
