Whitby Criminal & Civil Litigation Lawyer

Criminal Defence Services in Whitby

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

From the moment you call, I work to protect your rights, your reputation, and your future. Whether you've been arrested, contacted by police, or charged with an offence, the sooner I'm involved the more options you have.

Whitby is one of Durham Region's fastest-growing towns, sitting between Ajax to the west and Oshawa to the east. Criminal matters from Whitby are heard at the Durham Region Courthouse in Oshawa at 150 Bond Street East. Whitby clients tend to be employed professionals and families - many are first-time offenders dealing with domestic charges, impaired driving along the 401 or Highway 12 corridors, or assault matters. That first-time profile is a genuine asset in negotiations with Durham Region Crown attorneys, and I work to ensure it's front and centre from the outset.
