Disbarred Brampton Lawyer Charged in $4.3 Million Fraud Investigation
Region of Peel – Investigators with the Fraud Bureau have arrested and charged a former lawyer following an investigation into multiple allegations of fraud involving trust accounts and legal transactions in the Region of Peel.
In July 2025, the Law Society Tribunal of Ontario revoked the licence of Pawanjeet Singh Mann, finding that the lawyer, who operated PJ Mann Law Professional Corporation, knowingly participated in a mortgage fraud scheme in late 2019.
Between June and July, Peel Regional Police’s Fraud Bureau also received multiple complaints alleging that Mann engaged in fraudulent activity.
The investigation, initiated by the Fraud Bureau in August, revealed that Mann had allegedly orchestrated four separate mortgage and cheque fraud schemes, resulting in approximately $4.3 million in losses to victims.
As a result of the investigation, Pawanjeet Singh Mann, 52, of Brampton, was arrested on August 21, 2026 and charged with the following:
- Fraud Over $5,000 x4
- Possession of Property Obtained by Crime x4
- Criminal Breach of Trust x3
- Uttering Forged Documents x2
Investigators believe there may be additional victims who have not yet come forward. Anyone with information regarding this investigation, or who believes they may have been affected, is asked to contact investigators with the Fraud Bureau at 905-453-2121, ext. 3335.

“These allegations represent a profound breach of trust by an individual entrusted with significant financial responsibility. When that trust is exploited for personal gain, the impact on victims extends far beyond financial loss — it affects their daily lives, their sense of security, and their confidence in the systems meant to protect them. Peel Regional Police will relentlessly pursue those who prey on members of our community. No profession, title, or status places anyone above the law.”
