Corey Nishio was born and raised in the City of Toronto.  In University, he studied Criminology and Political Science.  He then attended Osgoode Hall Law School where he immersed himself in criminal law.  As a law student, Mr. Nishio enrolled in as many criminal law courses as possible; he was a Youth Division Leader at the Community and Legal Aid Services Programme (CLASP), where he represented individuals charged with criminal offences and conducted seminars on criminal law; he was an executive member of the Pre-Law Society at York University and he was accepted into the Osgoode Hall Intensive Program in Criminal Law.  He was also a summer student at Pinkofskys Criminal Trial and Appeal Lawyers, which was Canada's largest criminal law firm.

After graduating from law school, Mr. Nishio was dedicated to a career in criminal law.  He completed his articles at the law firm of Pinkofskys Criminal Trial and Appeal Lawyers. He then became a partner at the criminal law firm of Rusonik, O’Connor, Robbins, Ross, Gorham & Angelini, LLP.  Subsequently, he started his own criminal law practice, in which he defends individuals charged with criminal offences throughout Ontario, primarily in Toronto.

Mr. Nishio is a fervent believer in the values and principles that have been entrenched in the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Consequently, he zealously defends every single case, and has a particular interest in cases where his client has been assaulted by the police, arbitrarily detained, unreasonably searched, denied his/her right to counsel or denied his/her right to a trial within a reasonable time.

Mr. Nishio believes that you deserve a lawyer who is dedicated to defending you, regardless of your class; ethnicity; culture; religious views; sexual orientation; or whether you have been charged with a relatively minor offence, such as theft, or a more serious offence, such as murder.
