James Coulter Law is a sole-practitioner criminal defence and construction litigation firm on the sixth floor of 141 Laurier Avenue West in downtown Ottawa. James Coulter entered the University of Ottawa's Common Law Program in 2016 and later articled under Michael A. Johnston at Shore Johnston Hyslop Day LLP, now Shore Johnston LLP, a longstanding Ottawa criminal defence firm. James Coulter Law continues to practise from shared chambers with Shore Johnston and other criminal defence lawyers in the same building.
The practice is built around criminal defence, covering drug trafficking, sexual assault, weapons and firearms charges, warrant execution matters, and internet child exploitation cases, along with construction and infrastructure disputes involving liens, delay claims, and multi-party litigation under Ontario's Construction Act. James Coulter is authorized by Legal Aid Ontario to take on cases designated Extremely Serious Matters, and has argued reported decisions at the Superior Court of Justice and the Court of Appeal for Ontario, including a 2025 case that set new precedent on consent and bodily harm.
