About GotLaw

Clients rate this firm highly on Google.

GotLaw is the Ottawa practice of Dimitri Trofimoff, a solo lawyer who handles criminal defence, family law, and notary work. The main office is on Hazeldean Road in Ottawa, and the firm says it serves Metro Ottawa along with Renfrew and Lanark counties, meeting clients at multiple locations in the region and by teleconference rather than requiring everyone to travel to one spot.

Trofimoff's education spans Russia, England, and Ontario. Before turning to law, Trofimoff worked as a probation and parole officer for the province of Ontario, gaining direct exposure to how criminal and family cases move through the system. Trofimoff is fluent in Russian as well as English, and belongs to the Law Society of Ontario, the Criminal Lawyers' Association, JusticeNet, and the Legal Aid Ontario roster.

On the criminal side, the practice covers the full course of a case, from the initial police interaction and bail hearing through Crown negotiations, judicial pre-trials, and trial. The family law work covers both simple divorces and more complicated separations, with the firm describing its approach as tailored in every case, and the notary services cover certified copies, witnessed signatures, commissioned oaths, and travel or invitation letters.
