Borys Law is one of only a few law firms in Ontario practicing exclusively in the areas of Parole and Correctional Law.
We advocate for the rights of clients at all jails and prisons in Ontario and help them get back to their families. We are also actively involved in bringing about positive change in the correctional system by bringing test cases and constitutional challenges and intervening in important cases at the Supreme Court.
Our Commitment
Client Service
Going to prison can be one of the most traumatic experiences of a person’s life. That’s why we take the time to educate, inform, listen, and above all, advocate, so you can rest assured that your interests are being taken care of.
Professionalism
Everyone deserves to have the law applied with an even hand. We know that if you’re seeking representation, you’re already under a lot of stress. You can trust us to handle your case with discretion, tact, and honesty.
Experienced Guidance
With experience in policing, criminal defence, and Correctional Law, we are in a unique position to guide clients, and their families, through the process of incarceration.
