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.

I wanted to thank Michael and his team for being outstanding and providing the best customer service. Thank you for winning my case. I really appreciate it. We all make mistakes and learn from them. Thank you again Michael. Highly recommended! Best lawyer in Alberta and Calgary!!

I can’t thank enough to Joseph Beller. I got into a funny situation charged by CPS. This is a horrible place to be in, anyone who needs help should reach out ASAP.

He was very professional, calm, made the case go very smooth, good communication, answered my questions. Reliable! He cares about his clients, I trusted him 100%.

Charges have been withdrawn within a few months. 100% recommend him and his team to anyone in need! I wish more lawyers would be like him!

Had my first criminal offence and unfortunately ended up with assault charges after drinking too much. Greg took the time to review the evidence and noted that there was actually no assault on one of the allegations! He was so patient with me and dealt with my fear and anxiety amazingly, answering my million questions all hours of the day. It took forever, due to delay from prosecution, but I ended up with a resolution of a peace bond that was acceptable while also allowing me to deal with the consequences of my actions. I hope to never be in a position to see Greg again, however, I highly recommend him and his team for these tough situations!

I recently found myself assisting my elderly father with an urgent legal situation while from out of province. Attorney Greg Janzen went above and beyond from A-Z. He walked us through every step seamlessly. Resulting in a better than expected outcome. You can count on Greg Janzen!
