Alissa Mitchell

Sam Puchala

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.
