Akram Law, a Calgary-based firm led by respected criminal defence lawyer Khalid Akram, announced today that it is expanding its service reach to Cochrane, Airdrie, Chestermere, Crossfield, Irricana, and Okotoks. This significant development will make high-quality criminal defence representation more accessible to clients across the Greater Calgary area.
For nearly a decade, Akram Law has built its reputation on providing vigorous legal advocacy in criminal matters ranging from impaired driving and drug offences to assault, theft, fraud, and bail hearings. With a focus on protecting the rights of the accused, the firm has consistently demonstrated its commitment to fair process, strong defence strategies, and compassionate client care.
“Expanding into these six communities reflects our mission to stand with clients wherever they are,” said Khalid Akram. “People in smaller cities and towns face the same legal challenges as those in Calgary, but they often travel long distances to secure experienced legal counsel. By extending our reach, we bring trusted defence services closer to home.”
The expansion comes at a time when local courts in surrounding jurisdictions are seeing increased caseloads. Residents in these areas will now benefit from Akram Law’s hallmark approach:
- Comprehensive Criminal Defence – Tailored strategies built on careful case review, detailed evidence analysis, and strong courtroom advocacy.
- Accessibility and Transparency – Flat-rate fee structures and flexible payment options that minimize financial barriers.
- Multilingual Service – Communication available in English, Urdu, Hindi, and Punjabi, ensuring diverse communities receive representation they can fully understand.
- Community Focus – A dedication to supporting clients not just as cases, but as individuals navigating stressful and uncertain times.
Akram, who is a member of both the Law Society of Alberta and the Law Society of Ontario, brings a strong academic and professional background to his practice. He earned a Bachelor of Science degree from the University of Waterloo in 2006 and a law degree from the University of Windsor in 2014. Since being called to the bar in 2015, Akram has successfully represented clients across a wide spectrum of criminal law matters, combining legal knowledge with practical solutions for those facing prosecution.
The decision to expand services was also influenced by feedback from past clients who recommended that the firm make its support available to more communities outside Calgary. With offices centrally located in downtown Calgary, Akram Law is now committed to offering in-person and virtual consultations for residents in Cochrane, Airdrie, Chestermere, Crossfield, Irricana, and Okotoks.
