About MD Lawyers

MD Lawyers is a personal injury and medical malpractice firm based in downtown London, Ontario, with an office on King Street. It is a small practice built around principal lawyer Joni Dobson, who was called to the Ontario Bar in 2001 after earning a Bachelor of Laws from the University of Western Ontario in 1999. Dobson has practiced personal injury and medical negligence law for more than 20 years and leads MD Lawyers as its principal lawyer. The firm's work centers on medical malpractice, including surgical errors, stroke, delayed or missed diagnosis, infectious disease, and birth injuries, alongside car accidents, brain and spinal cord injuries, slip and fall claims, and fatal accident cases. Dobson represents clients across Ontario, not only in the London area.

Dobson is a director of The Advocates' Society and a past chair of the Ontario Trial Lawyers Association's medical malpractice section, and coaches the OTLA Cup team. Dobson has presented on medical negligence litigation at conferences held by the Advocates' Society, the Law Society of Upper Canada, the Middlesex Law Association, and OTLA going back to 2013, and has spoken on the topic internationally in Scotland. MD Lawyers has partnered with organizations including the Children's Health Foundation, the Brain Injury Association of London and Middlesex, Spinal Cord Injury Ontario, and Mothers Against Drunk Driving.
