If it is a criminal defence lawyer you are looking for, these 2 firms are pretty well respected:jimmydean007 said:sorry, a defense lawyer. i was astounded by how insensitive and ignorant most lawyers are to mental health issues.
You might want to talk to the referral service of the Law Society of Upper Canada http://www.lsuc.on.ca/index_en.html, a lot of firms do pro bono work and your case sounds like it might well be one someone would be interested in taking.jimmydean007 said:im sorry i dont want to appear as a whiner but i just want proper representation. i know i broke the law but the circumstances are important to consider. how do you get proper representation on legal aid?
Look up Edward Kelly or Michael Leopold. Both are quite familiar with mental health issues.jimmydean007 said:lenny do you have any contact info for either one of those lawyers? i tried to find info for both with no luck.
