Criminal Defence

She is a fearless advocate who works tirelessly for her clients. She has defended charges as diverse as homicide, sexual assaults, child pornography, drug cases, domestic assaults, property offences, and pretty much everything in between.

“Who but I will speak for them?”

In her private life, Ruth is an avid home cook, with a special interest in breads and preserves.

In her life before law school, Ruth was very active in her community, sitting on numerous Boards. She was a recipient of the Canada 125 Medal in recognition of her volunteer service. She was also involved in Municipal politics, and served as a Federal Returning Officer in Scarborough. She is the mother of two sons, who have taught her the intricacies of social networking.
