Rocco has had a very successful 32-year career as a litigator. He has well over 500 cases reported in the jurisprudence, at all level Courts, including the Supreme Court of Canada. Twice, he was named one of “Canada’s Top 25 Influential Lawyers” by Canadian Lawyer Magazine.
On October 29, 2019 Rocco made the following powerful statement on the steps of the Ontario legislature; “The right to choose does not belong to the state. It belongs to the individual. Only in a police state could you violate a person’s body without their informed knowledge and consent.”
Rocco believes it is his duty not just as a lawyer, but as a citizen, to speak up and take action. He says that “As Canadians we prefer not to engage, and pretend that everything is OK, and it’s not.” He says that he does not seek out controversy. But if no one else will call out the government when it’s wrong, rest assured that Rocco Galati will.
