Mistreatment that Davin experienced from police led him to law school. In 2008 he began his legal practice suing police in civil courts and focusing on criminal cases alleging police wrongdoing.

Law suits against police are specialized and significantly different than other personal injury cases. Davin developed significant expertise in the area while pursuing over 100 law suits and complaints against 15 police forces in Ontario as well as other public authorities including the Chief Coroner’s Office and Maplehurst Correction Complex.

Davin continues to be an activist and participate in social justice groups. Role model social justice lawyers include Joe Slovo and Nelson Mandela.

I was called to the bar in 2016. I articled at the Crown Law Office – Civil, Ministry of the Attorney General, and then joined as Crown Counsel from 2016-2018. I gained valuable civil litigation experience in the areas of public law, Crown liability, police liability, and proceedings before the Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario. I now bring these skills to Charney Law to support their work in holding police and the Crown accountable.
