“I believe in the presumption of innocence: that everyone charged with a criminal offence is innocent until proven guilty. I will ensure that your rights are respected and that you are treated fairly, from beginning to end.”
Omri was born and raised in Manitoba. He graduated from the University of Winnipeg with a degree in Criminal Justice and earned the Gold Medal for achieving the highest academic standing.
His success continued at the University of Manitoba Law School, where he received several awards for high grades. But for Omri, school was more than just book learning: it was an opportunity to develop his advocacy and courtroom skills. As a supervisor at the Community Law Centre, he led several trials and dispositions. He also clerked for the judges of the Court of King’s Bench, our province’s highest trial court.
Today, his practice includes cases of murder, drug trafficking, firearms, and sexual offences. He regularly acts for people charged with impaired driving, dangerous driving and other similar offences, as well as MPI and licence-suspension hearings, trucking and commercial driving files, and other administrative matters, such as protection orders. He has successfully argued several Charter motions. He is also an experienced appeals lawyer, having successfully appealed both convictions and sentences.
Omri regularly travels throughout the province of Manitoba, with a specific focus on Steinbach and the Pembina Valley regions. He can meet with clients directly in those communities. In his spare time, he enjoys reading and training in martial arts.
We are gathered on Treaty One Territory, the traditional lands of the Anishinaabeg, Cree, Oji-Cree, Dakota, and Dene Peoples, and the Red River Métis. Acknowledging this truth is a small but important step in building relationships with Indigenous communities.
