Experienced Extradition & International Crime Lawyer in Ontario, Canada

When criminal charges take on an international dimension, you need the very best in experienced representation from a firm that is familiar with the unique challenges of working beyond Canada’s borders.

Sometimes, the fight to defend yourself begins even before local law enforcement officials become involved in the case. If you or someone you know has been arrested in Ontario and is facing extradition to a foreign jurisdiction (including the United States), you need expert legal advice from an experienced criminal defence lawyer.

Bytensky Shikhman can help you fight extradition or work with foreign authorities to negotiate the terms of any surrender and the ultimate resolution. Our lawyers can assist you in any province in Canada and even outside of Canada. If necessary, Bytensky Shikhman can assist you in retaining counsel in the foreign jurisdiction and work with those lawyers in furtherance of your case. In some cases, if you are a Canadian citizen, we can even make arrangements for you to serve any sentence imposed by a foreign court here in Canada.

Our foreign expertise includes a thorough knowledge of the operation of international criminal law in its various forms as well as specific experience with the International Criminal Court.

  Ms. Sonya is just an absolute incredible lawyer. I would say the best. We worked with her for my brother’s bail. Where we were scared and full of anxiety, she made everything just so simple and easy for us. She got bailed him out and everything worked out perfectly. Felt really comfortable with her because she made ensure we are comfortable. Her work I would say is amazingly exceptional. Thank goodness for her and her whole team!

  Spoke with Mr. Boris on the phone, with respect to a appeal And I got to say he's a very honest professional individual, very unique in nature. He will tell you straight up if you have grounds of appeal or merits. If you will win or lose. Great personality to work with, someone who cares about Justice over money.
Thank you

  Brittany Smith is a very professional and hard-working lawyer. She dealt with my case quickly and effectively. Also, she explained everything along the way. Everyone should have this type of lawyer in their corner. Thank you very much!

  A family member of mine used Ms. Shikhman as their lawyer. From the beginning of the process, she was absolutely fierce in looking after his interests. She secured the most reasonable bail conditions that we were told by other lawyers would be impossible to get. After a complicated long trial we got a “NOT GUILTY” from the jury! We could not be more grateful for all of her hard work.
