If you've been charged with a criminal offence in Thornhill or anywhere in York Region, the most important decision you'll make is who represents you. I'm Elias Rabinovitch, a Toronto criminal lawyer who handles every Thornhill file personally, no associates, no handoffs.

Thornhill straddles the boundary between the City of Vaughan and the City of Markham, and its criminal matters are heard at the Newmarket Courthouse for both sides of the municipal divide. It is one of York Region's most affluent communities, and many Thornhill clients are first-time offenders dealing with charges that arose from a domestic dispute, a DUI stop, or a momentary lapse in judgment. That profile matters in negotiations with the Crown. I work to ensure your background and standing in the community are part of the picture the Crown and the court see.
