Galia Amoils

Galia's compact frame belies her formidable presence, not just in the martial arts dojo where she's earned a first degree black belt in Taekwondo, but also in the courtroom. This discipline and focus translate into her being a tenacious trial lawyer, tackling both family law and criminal defense with a readiness to fight zealously for her clients.

But Galia's not all about the fight. Her affectionate relationship with her Golden Doodle, Moose, showcases a softer side. The duo is a common sight in the city, capturing moments for their collection of selfies, a testament to their bond.

Her academic journey was equally impressive, with Galia securing an Honours double major in Philosophy and Classical Studies at the University of Western Ontario. Her quest for knowledge didn't stop there; she crossed the Atlantic to attend the University of Birmingham in the UK, where she not only obtained her LL.B. (Hons) but also graduated in the top 20% of her class.

Galia's wanderlust has taken her to many places, but New Orleans holds a special place in her heart, enchanting her with its lively music, exquisite cuisine, and rich culture. Back home, she indulges in a diverse range of activities, from attending concerts and comedy shows to playing basketball and practicing hot yoga. However, relaxing in cozy coffee shops, especially those with rustic exposed brick walls and robust espresso, ranks high on her list of favorites.

In her professional realm, Galia is known for her empathetic ear and readiness to assist. This ability to deeply understand her clients' experiences allows her to tailor her legal strategies effectively, ensuring personalized and empathetic legal representation.

One notable case, R. v. Rahman, 2016 ONCJ 718, exemplifies her legal prowess. In this case, Galia successfully argued for the exclusion of breath samples on the grounds of a Charter breach, leading to a sentence below the mandatory minimum. This victory underscores her skillful navigation of the legal system and her commitment to her clients' best interests.
