Genevieve Meira Eliany

Geneviève Eliany, JD Geneviève Eliany has been practicing criminal law since 2013. In 2017, she founded Eliany Advocates after building a busy defence practice in British Columbia, where she worked alongside Shawn Buckley. Based in Hamilton, Geneviève regularly represents clients in the surrounding area, including Burlington, Milton, St. Catharines, Niagara, Simcoe, Cayuga, and Brantford. Her approach to criminal defence is shaped by her commitment to testing evidence and telling your story through trial. Geneviève is also an active member of the Criminal Lawyers Association and WiCCD (Women in Canadian Criminal Defence). In 2024, she was honoured with the WiCCD Woman Award of the year for facing a contempt citation after standing up to a judge. Before becoming a lawyer, Geneviève spent over a decade studying and practicing homeopathic medicine. This background gives her a strong understanding of the issues faced by manufacturers, practitioners, and patients in the natural health sector. While her primary focus is criminal law, she accepts regulatory files on a selective basis. Geneviève est francophone et offre aussi ses services juridiques en français.
