About AGP LLP

Clients rate this firm highly on Google.

AGP LLP is a criminal defence firm in Ottawa. Its formal name is Abergel Goldstein & Partners LLP, and it has practiced criminal and quasi-criminal law exclusively for more than two decades. The firm started as a small group of young defence lawyers and has grown into a team of six, including three partners. Two of those partners hold the Law Society of Ontario's Certified Specialist designation in criminal law.

The firm's lawyers appear at every stage of a criminal case, from bail hearings through trial to appeal, and its appellate work has reached the Supreme Court of Canada. Its practice covers assault, drug offences, impaired driving, sexual assault, homicide, and white collar crime. AGP LLP doesn't limit itself to Ottawa: its lawyers regularly appear in Gatineau and other Eastern Ontario courts, including Brockville, Kingston, and Pembroke, and have also appeared in Toronto and Thunder Bay.
