Celine Dostaler Criminal Defence Lawyer

About Celine Dostaler Criminal Defence Lawyer

Céline Dostaler Criminal Defence Lawyer is a solo criminal defence practice based in downtown Ottawa. Céline Dostaler grew up in Ottawa, earned a bilingual undergraduate degree in criminology and psychology from the University of Ottawa, completed the university's French Common Law Program in 2009, and was called to the bar by the Law Society of Upper Canada in 2010. The practice has focused on criminal defence exclusively since then, taking on charges that range from assault, domestic assault, and sexual assault to impaired driving, drug offences, fraud, white collar crime, weapons offences, and young offender matters.

The office sits at the corner of Slater and Elgin Streets in downtown Ottawa, and a second office serves clients in L'Orignal. Dostaler appears regularly before the Ontario Court of Justice and the Superior Court of Justice in Ottawa, and also covers Brockville, Perth, Cornwall, and Pembroke. Representation is offered in both English and French, and Dostaler is the sole point of contact for every client, personally handling calls, emails, texts, and court appearances rather than routing them through other staff. Fees are billed as a flat rate for each phase of a case, and initial consultations run thirty minutes at no charge.
