AGP LLP was founded over two decades ago by a group of hungry, young criminal defence lawyers who believed that every client deserves a smart, creative, fearless defence. We still believe that. And with years of experience defending serious, complex cases behind us, we have evolved into a focused group of seasoned professionals. Each one of our lawyers brings razor-sharp intellect, finely honed judgment, and the courtroom skills that can make the difference between success and failure. Criminal litigation is serious business, and there is no room for mistakes. It’s under that kind of pressure that we do our best work. Whether we’re securing an acquittal from a jury in a murder trial or arguing an appeal before the Supreme Court of Canada, we have the experience and expertise our clients demand, in the most demanding settings possible.
