Our law firm is focused on providing expert representation to persons charged with criminal offences and in connection with their immigration matters. We possess a wealth of experience in the criminal justice system as well as the immigration system. Vladimir Semyonov received his B.A. degrees from Moscow Pedagogical University and his LL.B. from Osgoode Hall Law School in Toronto. After articling and working as an associate at McCarthy Tétrault, Canada’s largest law firm, Mr. Semyonov spent two years working at the London, England office of Baker & McKenzie, the world’s largest law firm. Semyonov is licensed to practise law in Ontario, England and Wales. Since his return to Canada in 2003, Mr. Semyonov’s practice has been focused exclusively on criminal law and immigration law. Semyonov was awarded the Legal Aid Ontario Client Service Award for 2005. In addition to his private practice, Mr. Semyonov has also worked as an Assistant Crown Attorney in North York. Our practice includes adults and youths in connection with their criminal and immigration matters. We also represent clients at sentencing hearings and criminal appeals as well as refugee hearings, family sponsorship and other immigration hearings and appeals. We provide expert support and assistance to lawyers in other fields (such as commercial or family law) when their matters cross over into the criminal or immigration realms. We personally appear on behalf of our clients at each and every court or tribunal appearance, allowing you to focus on your work and family, and not on your pending case. We will provide you with regular and detailed updates on the status of your case and will always make ourselves available to answer your questions. Semyonov is probably “the most international” lawyer in Canada, having worked on assignments in 27 countries and been exposed to various world cultures and legal systems. He is fully fluent in English, Russian, Spanish and Portuguese languages and has working knowledge of Italian and French.
