“Everyone experiences the legal process differently and I honour the experience of each one of my clients by listening to them. I don’t tell others that I know what they are going through. I just focus on making things better. It’s a tremendous feeling to give someone their life back—to be a part of a process that’s about fairness. It’s really humbling.”

Shimon Segal started working with Gindin Wolson Simmonds Roitenberg in 2013, while he was still in law school.

He has remained with the firm ever since. Shimon was called to the bar and hired as an associate in 2015. His practice has grown to include immigration law and criminal law. 

In the criminal courts, Shimon has successfully defended charges of theft, fraud, and assault. He’s also had success defending complex cases such as drug cases, firearm cases, and murders. As an outdoorsman, Shimon maintains firearm certification which gives him an in-depth understanding of functionality and ballistics. 

Shimon has experience in Manitoba’s Court of Appeal and Summary Conviction Appeal courts across the province. Shimon’s practice extends to courts in Selkirk, Dauphin, Portage la Prairie, Steinbach, and the Teulon/Stonewall area.

In immigration matters, Shimon has had continued success in deportation and detention hearings as well as refugee and pre-removal risk assessment cases from a multitude of countries.

In addition to his criminal and immigration work, Shimon assists clients in highway traffic matters, driver licensing issues, and court orders involving neighbour disputes and safety issues.

Shimon worked for the General Child and Family Services Authority for over five years. This first-hand knowledge is critical when dealing with matters involving Child and Family Services—whether it’s dealing with Child Abuse Registry cases or allegations involving children. 

Outside of Law

Shimon enjoys outdoor activities including hunting, fishing, and cycling. He volunteers with Winnipeg Harvest and Youth in Care Networks, and he sits on various community advisory committees.
