About Christopher Avery

With over two decades of criminal defence experience in Ontario and Nova Scotia, I’ve spent the majority of my career advocating for clients facing high-stakes charges. Early on, I travelled extensively handling organized crime cases, but for more than a decade my focus has been on DUI defence throughout Ontario and Canada’s East Coast. There’s something especially rewarding about helping clients get a second chance and DUI law allows me to do exactly that with a bit less stress and plenty of personal satisfaction. I frequently represent American clients and often field calls from Canadians who find themselves needing legal assistance in the United States. My cross-border experience has proved invaluable to those caught in difficult situations while travelling. If you or your clients need guidance—or if you just want to say hello—I’d be delighted to connect. Feel free to reach out anytime, and let’s share a drink at ClioCon!

Written by Jonathan Dichter The Heart of Client Care: Moving Beyond Case Management In the legal profession, we often talk about "case management" - the systems and processes that keep our cases moving efficiently. But what about *client care*? True client care goes beyond deadlines and filings; it's about treating clients as *people*-scared, uncertain, and in need of guidance. And when done...

Personal Contact: Using the Officer's Observations Against Them

03/10/2025

Written by Charles GoodwinEdited by Michelle Behan and Steven Hernandez The typical DUI investigation has three phases. It begins with the vehicle in motion and focuses on driving patterns that officers are trained might indicate impairment. Next is personal contact, where the officer will observe physical manifestations that are also purportedly correlated with alcohol ingestion and impairment. Finally, the officer will...
