Founder & principal lawyer, Narang Defence.
If you have been charged with an offence, are being investigated, are being held in custody awaiting bail, or are concerned about a criminal or driving charge, you can talk to Tarun directly.
Before founding Narang Defence, Tarun worked at Martin Estate and Injury Law, a private firm in the Okanagan. During his employment there, he appeared as a standing agent for the Department of Justice, conducting s. 490 applications on behalf of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. That experience drew him toward criminal law and ultimately led him to open his own criminal defence practice. Tarun has been a member of the criminal defence bar in Edmonton for over a year, acting for clients who need careful advocacy and dedicated representation.
Tarun was born in Indore, India and grew up on the north side of Edmonton, Alberta. He pursued a degree in Medieval & Ancient History and Economics at the University of Alberta, and worked at a local Edmonton law firm as a legal intern. His interest in the humanities and his experience working in a local Edmonton law firm sparked a lasting interest in litigation and the practice of law.
That interest led him to enroll in the Dual J.D. program with the University of Windsor and the University of Detroit Mercy. During the program, Tarun attended both universities and represented criminal defendants in the 34th District Court in Detroit, Michigan.
Tarun articled at a small firm in Prince George, British Columbia, where his practice centred on family law and child protection. He appeared in court regularly, had carriage of his own files, and conducted family law trials — hands-on courtroom experience that many lawyers do not see until well into their careers. Every one of his files came through Legal Aid, acting for clients at some of the most difficult moments of their lives, often with their families and children at stake. He also travelled to communities across the Northern Interior of British Columbia — including Williams Lake and Dawson Creek — to meet his clients and advocate for them in court.
His diligence, attention to detail, and grounded personality let his clients know they are in good hands.
Outside of the courtroom, you might find Tarun at the gym, or at one of the many farmers markets in Edmonton and the surrounding areas. He also enjoys cooking for friends and family using local produce.
