Joseph Caprara is a true foodie and outdoors man. Whether at home or abroad he enjoys sharing his culinary and wine experience with family and friends, but he’s never alone in his endeavours. Amiable, passionate and tenacious, he has this way of inspiring others to follow him in his pursuits, whether he’s on the slopes, in a kitchen, in the boardroom or in court.
As a litigator, Joseph leads CBLAW’ personal injury, disability law and criminal defence areas of practice. He is devoted to representing individuals and their families who have suffered losses through a serious personal injury or death, a fervour fuelled by having seen too many personal injury victims receive far less than their fair share. A professional advocate long before he entered law school, he has always fought for the rights of others. What’s more, his longstanding interest in medical issues has led him to acquire a wealth of medical knowledge over the years and build valuable relationships with medical professionals. Today, he uses both to help his clients realize their full potential despite injury.
In his criminal practice, Joseph is devoted to representing those who are criminally charged and face disadvantages from the systemic flaws of the criminal justice system. He has defended a number of complex Criminal Code and Controlled Drug and Substance Act (CDSA) cases, throughout Ontario. Joe’s mantra, is to “turn great problems into little ones and little ones into none at all”.
With years of courtroom experience behind him, as well as a broad and complex portfolio of successes, Joe has earned a reputation for advocating tenaciously on behalf of his clients. Determined and persistent, he is relentless in his pursuit of justice – so much so that opposing lawyers have been known to send referrals his way.
Joseph has both chaired and lectured for personal injury and criminal programmes for various professional organizations. He has served on the board of various legal and medical-legal organizations over the years. He has also presented and written for various organizations including Financial Services Commission of Ontario, The Chiropractic Association, and Canadian Association of Rehabilitation Professionals.
