Marika Quirion is a lawyer at Devichy Avocats, where she now focuses her practice on youth protection law. A member of the Quebec Bar since 2016, she brings nearly ten years of experience across various areas of law.
Before joining the Devichy team, Marika worked at the Director of Criminal and Penal Prosecutions (DPCP), where she specialized in cases involving domestic violence. She also holds a master’s degree in criminology, with her research focusing on the experiences of sexual violence victims within the criminal and restorative justice systems.
Drawing on this diverse background, Marika has developed a holistic and nuanced understanding of the human realities that intersect with the justice system. This sensitivity naturally led her to youth protection law — a field where human, social, and legal dimensions come together at the heart of her vision of justice. She places particular emphasis on the person behind each legal situation and strives to offer support marked by empathy, attentiveness, and professionalism.
