Lakin Afolabi Law is a criminal defence firm based in London, Ontario, with a second office in Kitchener that serves Waterloo Region and the surrounding tri-cities. Founded by Lakin Afolabi, it's a small team of criminal lawyers who take on charges across southwestern Ontario. The practice reaches across much of the Criminal Code, but it concentrates on sexual assault and domestic assault, and it also defends impaired driving, drug, firearms, theft, fraud, failure to comply, and youth matters, along with appeals.
The firm sums up its style as a human approach to law. It tells clients to call the lawyers directly, aims to meet within 24 hours, and says it stays reachable around the clock because charges can be laid at any time. The founding lawyer has litigated more than 20 jury trials over a career spanning more than 15 years. One of the associate lawyers works in Tamil as well as English. Consultations can be booked online or by phone.

The neighbourhood
This is the Kitchener office of a firm headquartered in London, Ontario. From a location in downtown Kitchener, the practice takes on cases from the tri-cities of Kitchener, Waterloo, and Cambridge and the rest of Waterloo Region.
For a criminal practice, that regional reach counts for more than the street number. Kitchener sits at the centre of the region, and the local courts are where its clients' cases get dealt with, so a downtown base keeps the firm close to the work. Because charges can be laid at any hour, the firm says it answers calls around the clock rather than only during office hours.
