Jonathan M. Pyzer

Year Called to the Bar: 2002

Being arrested, charged or placed under investigation can immediately put your freedom, reputation, employment and family life at risk. For many people, the criminal process is unfamiliar and intimidating, especially when court dates, bail conditions, police disclosure and possible penalties begin moving quickly.

Jonathan M. Pyzer is an experienced Brampton criminal defence lawyer serving clients in Brampton, Peel Region and across the Greater Toronto Area. Through Pyzer Criminal Lawyers, he defends individuals facing a wide range of criminal and quasi-criminal allegations, including bail matters, assault charges, impaired driving, drug offences, fraud, sexual offence allegations and serious violence-related charges.

Jonathan has restricted his practice to criminal defence work since being called to the Ontario Bar in 2002. His approach is grounded in careful preparation, strategic review of the evidence and a strong commitment to protecting the rights of people accused by the state.

An Experienced Brampton Criminal Defence Lawyer on Your Side

A criminal charge is not the same as a conviction. The Crown must prove its case beyond a reasonable doubt, and an effective defence begins with understanding the allegations, reviewing the evidence and identifying every available legal issue. Jonathan works to ensure clients understand what is happening, what is at stake and what steps can be taken to protect their position.

Jonathan’s defence work includes trial advocacy, bail hearings, Charter applications, disclosure review and negotiations with the Crown where appropriate. He has represented clients facing both common and highly serious charges, and his practice includes matters where liberty, immigration status, employment, professional reputation and long-term record consequences may be at risk.

Clients turn to Jonathan and Pyzer Criminal Lawyers for defence in matters involving:

• Bail hearings and bail reviews
• Simple assault, domestic assault and assault causing bodily harm
• Aggravated assault and assault with a weapon
• Robbery, armed robbery and forcible confinement
• Criminal harassment and uttering threats
• Sexual assault and other sexual offence allegations
• Murder, attempted murder and manslaughter
• Impaired driving, DUI, driving over 80 and refusing a breath sample
• Dangerous driving and failure to remain
• Drug possession, trafficking, importing and related drug charges
• Weapons and firearm-related charges
• Theft, fraud and financial crime allegations
• Mischief, arson and property-related offences
• Obstructing a peace officer and failure to comply matters
• Young offender matters under the Youth Criminal Justice Act
• Charter applications, search and seizure issues, and rights-based defence arguments

Every case requires a defence strategy built around its own facts. Jonathan reviews the evidence, identifies weaknesses in the prosecution’s case and considers whether police conduct, search and seizure issues, right-to-counsel concerns or other Charter issues may affect the outcome.

For clients in Brampton, early legal advice can be especially important. Bail conditions, first appearances and disclosure timelines can affect how a case develops from the beginning. Acting quickly gives defence counsel more time to protect your rights and prepare a focused response.
