Liberty Law LLP, one of Edmonton’s longest-standing criminal defence practices, is recognizing its continued legacy of advocacy and legal service across Alberta. While the current partnership was formally established in 2018, the firm’s origins trace back to 1989, giving it more than three decades of experience representing Albertans through some of the most serious and complex areas of criminal law.
The law firm’s long history reflects an evolution shaped by thousands of trials and appeals across Western Canada, rooted in a commitment to fairness, due process, and the protection of individual rights. While Liberty Law LLP operates under a modern partnership structure today, its lawyers emphasize that the principles guiding their work remain aligned with the values that defined the original practice.
“While our current partnership began in 2018, our roots in Alberta’s legal community go back more than three decades,” said Edmond O’Neil, Managing Partner at Liberty Law LLP. “Our team has evolved together, drawing on years of shared courtroom experience and a consistent commitment to the principles of justice.”
Liberty Law LLP is recognized among the community for its multi-lawyer team approach to cases, which provides clients with all the benefits of a combined strategy and shared preparation. This collaborative model supports clients facing impaired driving matters, drug and substance offences, serious violent crimes, sexual offences, and homicide charges. O’Neil notes that this structure ensures each client receives informed and measured counsel during what are often life-altering legal challenges.
The law firm also maintains a strong focus on legal education and public access to information. Through its Edmonton Criminal Law Resource Hub, Liberty Law LLP provides detailed materials to help Albertans understand the criminal law process, from arrest to appeal. The resource hub aims to support community awareness by offering plain-language explanations of rights, timelines, and legal options for individuals seeking clarity while navigating the otherwise complex justice system.
“Our focus has always been client-centred,” O’Neil added. “Whether someone is facing a serious charge or needs immediate legal guidance, our team is ready to deliver experienced, informed, and compassionate defence.”
The firm’s sustained presence in Alberta reflects the continued demand for knowledgeable and principled representation in criminal matters. As laws evolve and court processes grow increasingly complex, experienced defence counsel play a crucial role in ensuring that individuals have access to fair treatment and a clear understanding of their rights. Liberty Law LLP views its longevity as a responsibility to uphold the same high standards of legal advocacy that shaped its early years.
In reflecting on the firm’s legacy, Liberty Law LLP acknowledges the many clients it has represented throughout decades of social, legal, and technological change within the justice system. While courtroom procedures and legal frameworks have adapted over time, the core function of criminal defence, which is safeguarding constitutional protections, remains central to the firm’s identity.
Liberty Law LLP continues to represent individuals at all levels of court, drawing on a broad range of experience with complex criminal cases and appeals. Its lawyers emphasize that effective defence requires not only legal knowledge but also preparation, communication, and a measured approach to every stage of the legal process.
