Jerry Steele

Jerry Steele is a criminal defence lawyer with Steele Law Corporation in Victoria, British Columbia. Impaired-driving defence is a particular focus of his criminal practice, according to his profile at People’s Law School. His firm describes his work as including courtroom representation and negotiations with prosecutors. Its criminal defence page also identifies reviewing the prosecution’s case, developing defences and negotiating plea bargains as aspects of his work.

Victoria figures in the firm’s account of Steele’s practice before its expansion to two other British Columbia cities. That account states that he opened a Vancouver practice in 2012 and a Kelowna practice in 2018. Steele Law Corporation lists its Victoria office at 307-895 Fort Street. The firm advertises representation in drug, weapons and theft cases, as well as assault, domestic violence and sexual assault matters. Its broader service list includes fraud, cybercrime, money laundering, bank fraud, embezzlement and extortion.

Outside his defence practice, Steele formerly held an associate director position with the Lawyers Assistance Program of BC. People’s Law School also describes him as a volunteer with that organization. The same profile lists an adjunct professorship at the University of Victoria Law School, describing work with students on provincial court trials. In that teaching role, the profile says, he coaches and supervises students through all aspects of conducting a trial.
