Young Offenders

Dealing with youth caught up in the criminal justice system requires extra patience and a unique collaborative approach. The lawyers at Bytensky Shikhman don’t just understand the Youth Criminal Justice Act – they will take the time to understand your child.

At BSB Criminal Law Firm we spend a considerable amount of our practice assisting young persons charged with criminal offences. Children under the age of 18 are treated very differently by the law. Our lawyers are intimately familiar with the complexities of the Youth Criminal Justice Act including its application to bail proceedings for young persons.

You can trust our calm manner and reasoned approach to help guide your young person through a very frightening and defining time in their lives. We also have access to a broad array of educational, medical and social service agencies that can help your young person onto a rehabilitative path.

BPS’ lawyers for youth and minors will make every effort to answer your questions promptly and personally – you will not be shuffled around through layers of staff. When our lawyers are in court, our office staff will respond to your concerns immediately and professionally. Bytensky Shikhman welcomes the opportunity to be your Toronto Young Offender Lawyer.

  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.
