More About Rocco Galati:

Rocco was born in 1959 in Calabria, Italy and his family endured much persecution. Rocco’s father was court marshalled and interned for opposing Mussolini, the Italian Prime Minister who founded and led the National Fascist Party. Rocco’s father told him that “fascists don’t come marching in overnight. It’s a slow march.”

As reported by the Toronto Star, Rocco’s mistrust of authority is the backbone of his successful law practice, which only takes on cases against the government. Cases that other lawyers won’t touch. Because of this, Rocco has undergone much scrutiny, surveillance and threats against his life. According to the Star’s report, Rocco claimed for years that CSIS was listening in on his phone calls with clients, and he found out through court documents that they were in fact doing it. He believes they still are.

Rocco states that “The only effective balance to governments going wrong is an independent judiciary and the rule of law.” He believes that, “If the judiciary is not itself following the dictates in the law and constitution, then you’ve got a real problem.” This statement was made in 2013 and his words ring ever true as we experience a breakdown of our judicial system, and the infiltration of corrupt and compromised judges nationwide. Many of the courts across Canada have been corrupted but with Rocco’s skill and expertise it is believed that when he has his day in court, justice will prevail.

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.

“As my father would have said, I’d rather be controversial than complicit in ignoring the law, in spitting in the face of the Constitution.”

We are so grateful to Rocco for his tenacity in the face of such adversity and together we look forward to achieving great wins on behalf of every single Canadian in response to this war on humanity.
