Sam Puchala, J.D.

CRIMINAL LAWYER AND FOUNDER

Sam Puchala is a no-nonsense, motorcycle-riding criminal lawyer and the founder of Velox Law Professional Corporation, a modern and bilingual law firm with offices in Woodstock and London.

Bold, fearless, and passionate about defending those who need her, Sam’s practice focuses on high-stakes criminal matters across Ontario, including all levels of assaults, homicides, sexual offences, and allegations of domestic violence.

Sam is recognized as a trailblazer within the legal community, including in her role as Regional Women’s Director of the Criminal Lawyers’ Association and as the winner of the 2022 Middlesex Law Association’s Rising Star Award. She has published a number of articles and is regularly invited to speak on a variety of topics.

Fun fact: ServiceOntario initially refused Sam’s custom licence plate “NO JAIL” on the basis that it was considered a political opinion. She appealed the refusal on the basis that it was in fact the expression of a constitutional right not to be denied reasonable bail without just cause, and won.

Testimonials


“My problems were easily solved by Sam, she is not only an excellent lawyer but a pleasure to meet and speak with each and every time. If you need help, she wants to do the best for you.” —M.F.


“Sam is a great lawyer – knowledgeable, experienced, and tenacious. Above all, Sam vigorously defends the interests of her clients in and out of court. Sam has helped me navigate the most stressful two years of my life and I was able to sleep at night knowing Sam had my back. If you are stuck in a difficult situation with the law just pick up the phone and call Sam and she will guide you through the process. Trust me, you will need a girl like Sam on your side to defend yourself, and don’t try doing it yourself, you will fail. I am writing this review before my verdict is in. The result is very important to me and my future but that is for a judge to decide. What is equally important to me is seeing the dedication of Sam to defend me and my rights and fighting for me till the end while also caring for me and my circumstances. Thank you, Sam.” —S.T.


“Sam Puchala is one of the most professional people I have had the pleasure of dealing with. I had a friend who ended up in some trouble with the law and needed some help so I called for advice about our options. Sam made me feel like she had our best interests at heart right from our first conversation, she made me feel like she really cared about helping. Long story short, my friend’s case didn’t even make it to court. She was able to get his charges dropped and kept us from having to spend more than we needed to get it done. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and highly capable lawyer that will work for you and your best interests rather than try to empty your pocketbook. A++++++” —R.J.

True story: Service Ontario initially denied Sam’s request for her custom licence plate “NO JAIL” on the basis that it was the expression of a political opinion. She appealed the decision, arguing it was not the expression of a political opinion, but instead the promotion of a constitutional right not to be denied reasonable bail without just cause.
