John East lives for a fight. He is not afraid to throw a punch and is certainly not afraid to take a punch. He then became a Criminal Defence Lawyer. Having spent many years working on a farm, John East understands that hard work is what wins out at the end of the day. He applies this motto to every case that he defends, no matter what.

John East is a graduate of the Bora Laskin Faculty of Law, Thunder Bay, Ontario. He also holds a Bachelor of Arts degree (Honours) double majoring in Philosophy and Political Science, and a Masters degree also in Political Science. John East received academic recognition when he won the Gold Medal for Best Overall Article titled, “Constructing Justice: Fairness, Inclusiveness, and Understanding” in the 16th Edition of the Cork Online Law Review. He has also spent time working as an instructor teaching law at York University.

Now, John East owns and operates East Law, a Criminal Defence Law Practice focused on litigating and defending criminal cases at the Ontario Court of Justice and the Superior Court. He defends charges from murder, drug trafficking, domestic assault, all the way down to drinking and driving. In every case, he puts extra focus on the way the police themselves may have broken the law in arresting his client, and whether they infringed upon his client’s Constitutional Rights.
