Etobicoke Lawyers: Criminal Defence, Wills, Immigration and Real Estate
We act for clients in Etobicoke by phone and video. In person, you can meet us by appointment at our Mississauga offices, a short drive away, or at our downtown Toronto office. We don't have an office in Etobicoke itself.
Etobicoke is part of the City of Toronto, so criminal charges are laid by the Toronto Police Service. Many Etobicoke residents work, study or own property in Mississauga as well, so we often help with matters that cross the city line: wills, real estate closings, immigration and criminal charges.

Criminal Defence Lawyer for Etobicoke
Etobicoke is part of the City of Toronto and its criminal charges are heard in the Ontario Court of Justice in Toronto. Your release document or court notice states the courthouse and whether you can attend by video. If you were charged near Pearson Airport or on the Highway 427 or 401 corridor, tell us where it happened, because the court and the Crown office depend on the location of the alleged offence.
If you are charged in Etobicoke, keep your release document and every court date, because missing one can lead to an arrest warrant and a separate charge. We review the disclosure, test the police evidence and advise on diversion, a peace bond, a resolution or trial.
