I specialize in offering professional legal advice and representation to assist anyone in a dispute with the Canada Revenue Agency or other Tax Authority (CRA). Whether you disagree with your amount payable or simply need help to understand and deal with correspondence, I can give you the advice and representation you need to level the field and protect your rights to ensure you only pay the minimal amount of taxes required under the legislation.
I was born and raised in the South of England and came to Canada in 2004 after completing my Law Degree at the University of Bristol. I initially moved to Ottawa to complete my additional conversion courses to become a member of the Ontario Bar and have since relocated to Toronto where I have had the privilege of working with clients, lawyers and accountants from all across Canada.
I chose to set up my own law firm as I wanted to structure my business as a social enterprise. This means I do not work solely to make a profit. During my time practising tax law, I noticed there is a serious barrier to securing justice in tax matters as the high legal fees involved in disagreeing with the CRA can cause many taxpayers to simply give up and just pay whatever debt is assessed. I want to stop this happening. I have tailored my practice to help provide resources for taxpayers so they can represent themselves where possible and encourage people to use a lawyer in a more supportive role rather than simply paying them to do everything for you at an hourly rate. I devote a large portion of my time and revenue to providing free consultations and articles through my company Taxpayers Advocate Inc. as well as campaigning for a fair and just tax system. It is my aim to raise awareness of the problems many taxpayers face when dealing with the CRA and to continue to increase the availability of cost effective legal assistance to help all Canadians to feel confident in asserting their rights within the tax system.
I am a member of the Law Society of Upper Canada as well as the Canadian Bar Association and Ontario Bar Association. I am proud to operate my office through the Centre for Social Innovation located in Toronto and work with causes such as the Canadian Taxpayers Federation, Canadians for Tax Fairness, the Canadian Tax Foundation and Pro Bono Law Ontario to help make Canada a better place for everyone.
