BRIAN ROSS

Brian Ross is a founding partner at Canada’s largest criminal Law firm, Rusonik, O’Connor, Robbins, Ross & Angelini, LLP. Prior to founding this firm, Brian was a partner at Pinkofskys, a leading law firm famous for its vigorous defence of its clients.

ABOUT BRIAN ROSS

When Peter Edwards, author of The Encyclopedia of Canadian Organized Crime, One Dead Indian, and Deadly Silence: Canadian Mafia, recounted Mr. Ross's "often-vigorous cross-examination" of a key witness in a first-degree murder trial - he could not have known the work that went into its preparation. He could not have known that the preparation began long ago. And that it had never stopped. It never does. Never. Not in that case. Not in any case.

Mr. Ross believes that every client deserves excellent representation from a knowledgeable and experienced lawyer, a lawyer who understands the effect that your charge is having on you, and who is prepared to provide the special attention that each case merits. And to put it bluntly, Mr. Ross believes that you’re looking for a lawyer who will: (a) put in the work, and (b) let you know what’s going on. If this sounds like something you’re looking for, you’ve found your lawyer. With a reputation for being affable and easy to reach, you can take comfort Mr. Ross will ensure that you understand the status of your case as developments happen.

Initially trained and seasoned by legal giants Jack Pinkofsky and James Lockyer, Mr. Ross advanced to become a partner at Pinkofskys, Canada’s (then) largest criminal defence law firm. After several successful years there, he proudly co-founded this firm with Pinkofskys' top lawyers - Reid Rusonik, Liam O’Connor, and others. His passion for trial work, though, started earlier. After graduating with an Honours Degree in Psychology, and authoring several journal publications in this area, Mr. Ross attended the venerable Osgoode Hall Law School. He immediately established himself there in the area of criminal law by becoming a Criminal Division Leader at the Community and Legal Aid Services Program where even as a student, he regularly represented clients in criminal trials. While at law school, he was also a member of the Innocence Project, a criminal program that investigates and represents persons claiming to be wrongfully convicted, and worked extensively on the brief in support of the Grant of Executive Clemency for Leonard Peltier. Even before graduating high school, Mr. Ross worked part-time at a criminal defence law firm and would watch all the trials he possibly could, whenever he could.

Mr. Ross is devoted to defending the civil liberties of those accused of all criminal offences and will work unwaveringly to preserve the rights given to every one of us under the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. He has represented and continues to represent people charged with all types of criminal offences and routinely appears in trial courts throughout Ontario (and elsewhere) in high-publicity, high stakes, cases. While he's made television appearances, presented at legal conferences, and led seminars on the newest legal developments in criminal law – it is fighting for a client in serious need of help that motivates him to never stop preparing a case. Never. Not in any case. Not in your case.

Brian Ross is professional, straightforward, and honest. After we reviewed my case I didn't have high hopes for a positive outcome because there really wasn't much for him to work with. However, come court date, charges were withdrawn!! It had all happened so fast. I am so grateful for Brian Ross and his team. He didn't give up on my case and he definitely made lemonade out of like a 1/4 of a lemon. I would 100% use their services again - hopefully I won't have too.

Kate Rice

Money well spent! With all the issues with my case Brian gave me hope. I would definitely recommend spending the cash to hire Brian as he is an amazing lawyer. Watching him work I knew I had great chances. I feel like I have a new lease of life now with this behind me. All charges dropped which I could not imagine. Thank you to you and your team on helping me with this. Best lawyer in the city!!!

Jan Lane

I had a great experience hiring Brian for my case. From the beginning he was very direct and honest. He was confident in his prediction and his prediction was correct. Brian did an incredible job. He is highly knowledgeable in his field. He was thorough and very well experienced. I do highly recommend Brian!!

Anita Wong

As a young professional, the weight of a conviction was staggering, and would have greatly affected my ability to work in my chosen profession. Hiring Mr. Ross was the best way to guarantee against such effects. Throughout, Brian was present, helpful, positive, and supportive; hard-working and diligent. It was truly a pleasure to work with him, and a relief to get the call that Mr. Ross had accomplished what he initially set out to do. Consider this a sincere “Thank You” and commendation.
