Dobson Law

About Dobson Law

Dobson Law is a small criminal defence firm with offices in Woodstock and London, Ontario. Alexander Dobson represents clients on Criminal Code charges, provincial offences, and traffic tickets, along with bail hearings and reviews and youth court matters. The firm doesn't stop at routine cases either: its lawyers also appear in Ontario Review Board hearings, Adult Therapeutic Court, and Gladue Court, and the firm accepts clients funded by Legal Aid certificates.

Christopher Dobson brings over 30 years of trial experience and has represented clients carrying complex histories, including serious mental illness, addiction, developmental challenges, learning disorders, autism spectrum disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, acquired brain injury, and trauma. Christopher Dobson is no longer accepting new clients and now focuses on Ontario Review Board cases, continuing to support the justice and mental health systems. Christopher Dobson also helped establish several of London's specialty courts, among them the Adult Therapeutic Court, the Gladue Court for Indigenous peoples, and the Drug Treatment Court. Alexander Dobson articled with criminal defence lawyer Richard Braiden, joined the firm in 2020, spent nearly a year prosecuting for the Crown in Parry Sound, and returned to Dobson Law's criminal defence practice in January 2024.
