About Christopher Avery
With over two decades of criminal defence experience in Ontario and Nova Scotia, I’ve spent the majority of my career advocating for clients facing high-stakes charges. Early on, I travelled extensively handling organized crime cases, but for more than a decade my focus has been on DUI defence throughout Ontario and Canada’s East Coast. There’s something especially rewarding about helping clients get a second chance and DUI law allows me to do exactly that with a bit less stress and plenty of personal satisfaction. I frequently represent American clients and often field calls from Canadians who find themselves needing legal assistance in the United States. My cross-border experience has proved invaluable to those caught in difficult situations while travelling. If you or your clients need guidance—or if you just want to say hello—I’d be delighted to connect. Feel free to reach out anytime, and let’s share a drink at ClioCon!

These states include Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Arizona, California, Connecticut,...
