An experienced DUI lawyer in Ajax will carefully examine roadside stops, breath and blood testing procedures, police conduct, and potential Charter violations to challenge the charges.

Sexual assault allegations carry severe legal and personal consequences. Our criminal defence lawyers approach these cases with discretion, carefully reviewing credibility issues, forensic evidence, and disclosure while ensuring clients’ rights are protected.

Assault charges can range from minor allegations to serious offences carrying jail time. Our lawyers assess intent, credibility, self-defence claims, and evidentiary reliability to identify weaknesses in the Crown’s case.

Attempted murder and 7 gun charges. Igor got every single charge withdrawn. Needless to say I was innocent. Don't expect him to hold your hand the whole time, but the results speak for itself. Highly recommend him. Thank you Igor and the team for your service.

I am extremely grateful to Igor and his team, especially Daniel and Ecem, for everything they did for me during one of the most difficult periods of my life. I was facing very serious charges, and the legal process lasted nearly four years. It was an incredibly stressful and painful journey, but they stood by me every step of the way. Igor, as the lead lawyer, demonstrated exceptional professionalism, confidence, and deep knowledge of the law. From the very beginning, he was strategic, honest, and fully committed to defending me. Daniel and Ecem were also outstanding — handling communication, paperwork, court appearances, transfers, and ensuring I was always informed and prepared. Thanks to their hard work, dedication, and persistence, all of the serious charges against me were eventually withdrawn. That outcome changed my life, and I truly believe it would not have been possible without their relentless effort and expertise. Throughout those four years, they treated me with respect, dignity, and understanding. They gave me reassurance during moments of uncertainty and never made me feel alone in the process. I highly recommend Igor and his team to anyone in need of strong, reliable, and genuinely caring legal representation. I will always be thankful for what they did for me.

A family member of mine was going through a court case. We as a family have never dealt with anything of the sorts. We found Igor through a website of top ten lawyers in GTA and thank God for that. The process was stressful and took a while, but he made my family member calm and confident through it all. I would highly recommend Igor. He’s solid.

My son was facing an extremely serious charge that could’ve ruined his future. Igor and his team handled the matter so well that my son walked away a free man. I honestly can’t thank him enough for his very very hard work. All the way from Orillia. Thank you Igor!!!

I found myself in a VERY unfamiliar and uncomfortable situation. I spoke briefly with Igor on the phone, and he was candid, factual, and completely selfless in both his listening and the advice he gave. He's a straight shooter, and I could tell right away he knows his stuff—this is someone who's been there and seen it all. He wasn't afraid to speak the hard truths that were most helpful to me, which I very much appreciated! There was also no pressure to hire or any mention of fees, which was refreshing to say the least. His colleague Michael was also very patient and kind during the process. I'd highly recommend Mr. Vilkhov (Vilkhov Law in Toronto) to anyone needing honest, experienced guidance on a criminal matter. Dude is a gentleman and a scholar. You're safe with him. Cheers!
