Martin Glazer has practiced criminal law exclusively since he was called to the Manitoba Bar in 1982. He has represented clients from all walks of life, and has defended people accused of almost every type of crime. He takes pride in thoroughly preparing for trial and passionately speaking up for his clients. He has been involved in numerous jury trials, appeared in all Manitoba Courts for bail applications, preliminary hearings and trials, and has argued many appeals in the Manitoba Court of Appeal. He has appeared before the Supreme Court of Canada in Ottawa four separate times on a variety of criminal cases including a stolen property case in 1987, a sexual assault case in 1988, a breach of trust case involving a conditional sentence (house arrest) which was upheld on appeal in 1999, and a first degree murder mistrial case in 2001. High profile cases have dominated his career. Many of his criminal cases have appeared in the newspapers, radio and television. He has a keen interest in fighting for the underdog. His compassion for people accused of crime underscores his commitment to helping everyone he can from the impoverished defendant to the wealthy celebrity.
