About Shervin Sabet
I am a criminal defence lawyer at Savage Oykhman Law (an association of independent law practices). Together with Strategic Criminal Defence, we are a Full-Service Criminal Defence Law Office, with central offices across Western Canada and Ontario.
My practice is centered around my clients. I strive to achieve the best possible outcome and ensure that my clients are fully informed through the entire legal process. I work closely with my clients to employ a strategy that is best suited to achieve their goals.
Education, Accomplishments, and Career
I received my law degree from the University of Calgary. During law school I was heavily involved with Student Legal Assistance (SLA), a pro-bono legal clinic that provides legal representation to low-income residents of Calgary and the surrounding area. In my first year with the clinic, I was selected as the volunteer that demonstrated the greatest commitment to improving access to justice. I was later appointed as the Early Case Resolution Coordinator for criminal matters in the organization. In this position I was entrusted with the responsibility of mentoring other students and reviewing hundreds of negotiations with prosecutors to ensure that we obtained the best results possible.
After law school, I articled then worked with a senior criminal defence lawyer who has since been appointed as a Justice of the court of King’s Bench. Under her guidance I gained invaluable experience assisting on serious and complex cases including murder and sexual assault. I also independently maintained a full case load of a variety of low-complexity criminal cases.
Following this, I worked in the Legal Aid Alberta Bail Hearing Office. In that capacity I have helped secure freedom for over 1000 clients within 24 hours of their initial arrest.
