Ilias Loui Dallas

While in law school, Loui focused on social justice law and criminal defence law. He articled in criminal defence law, and was called to the Bar in Ontario in 2007. In 2008, Loui established Dallas Criminal Defence as The Voice of Urban Representation™. Loui takes pride in challenging the status quo, and has represented clients in many trials at both the Ontario and Superior Courts of Justice.

R. v. P.P. – First degree murder. Client hit his brother-in-law in the head with a metal bar which caused his death. At trial, my co-counsel, Steven Stauffer, and I established that:

b) His brother-in-law was one key element in this complex trauma history; he had severely assaulted our client in the past and was convicted for it.

c) Client had repeatedly tried to avoid contact with his brother-in-law in the incident lead-up.

d) Client did not have the mens rea (planning and deliberation) for first degree murder.

Client found not guilty of first degree murder (only guilty of manslaughter.) He was spared a life sentence and after receiving credit for his pre-trial custody, he walked free.
