About Crothers Criminal Law
Crothers Criminal Law is a sole-practitioner criminal defence firm run by Brian Crothers from an office in Mississauga. Crothers, who is originally from the Maritimes, has practiced criminal law in Ontario for nearly two decades and takes on criminal matters exclusively. Because it's a one-person practice, clients deal directly with Crothers throughout a case rather than having the file handed to a different lawyer partway through.
The caseload covers a broad range of charges, including weapons, drug, impaired driving, robbery, assault, fraud, and sexual offence matters. Crothers appears regularly in courts across the GTA and reaches further afield too, with experience in jurisdictions from Hamilton and Kitchener to Belleville, Orillia, St. Catharines, Orangeville, and Newmarket. For clients weighing the cost of a defence, the firm offers a flat block fee covering a case from start to finish, a flexible payment plan, or hourly billing as alternatives.

The neighbourhood
The office sits on Village Centre Place in Mississauga. From that base, Crothers has taken on cases well beyond the immediate area, appearing in courts from Hamilton and Kitchener to Belleville, Orillia, St. Catharines, Orangeville, and Newmarket. That kind of reach fits a solo practice built around a single focus, criminal defence, rather than a firm splitting its time across a wider range of legal work close to home.
