Adam Weisberg
B.A., LL.B.
Barrister & Solicitor

Mr. Weisberg specializes in criminal trial and appellate work, including defending allegations of homicide, sexual assault, drug trafficking, robbery, major fraud, and driving offences. He has devoted his professional career to not only representing those with financial means but also in ensuring that those who are underprivileged and those who face discrimination are given equal access to the legal system.

Many of Mr. Weisberg's cases are high profile. His cases have been written about in the national media, including the National Post, Globe and Mail and the Toronto Star. He successfully argued that serious drug charges be dismissed in a case involving police misuse of Tasers against a defendent. The Tasering officers version of events were not accepted by the trial judge and their actions were found to constitute "cruel and unusual punishment". In many cases, Mr. Weisberg has also successfully established breaches of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms against his clients. These Charter breaches have led to stays of prosecutions and exclusions of evidence leading to acquittals.

Mr. Weisberg obtained his law degree from Queen's University at Kingston. He articled at a leading national business law firm and worked with another leading criminal lawyer prior to joining and becoming a partner at Pinkofskys.
