JAKE SHEN

Barrister & Solicitor

Criminal Defence Lawyer

Former police officer, now criminal defence lawyer

* Practicing as Shen’s Law Professional Corporation

As a former Toronto police officer and now a dedicated criminal defence lawyer, Jake Shen brings a unique advantage to every case. Fluent in Mandarin, he provides strategic legal support for assault, fraud, drug offences and more.

OUR VISION

Any person charged with an offence has the right to be presumed innocent.

The most fundamental principle in our criminal justice is provided, and guaranteed by section 11(d) of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, which states the following:

Any person charged with an offence has the right to be presumed innocent until proven guilty according to law in a fair and public hearing by an independent and impartial tribunal.

Many important legal principles governing how police can conduct their investigations, how the Crown can prosecute a case, what evidence is admissible can all trace their roots to this important presumption.

As a former police officer, Jake saw first-hand how this fundamental principle was played out in our criminal justice system, and how powerful it could be, which inspired Jake to pursue a new career in law. As your defence lawyer, Jake strives to construct all defences that are made available because of this fundamental principle – your presumption of innocence.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had a 100/80 impaired driving charge and was very stressed about my situation. My lawyer was very supportive, professional, and responsive. He provided me with clear information, answered all my questions, and guided me through the entire process. I’m very grateful that my charge was ultimately withdrawn. Highly recommend!
