About Cheema Law

Cheema Law is a criminal defence firm run from a downtown Toronto office at 8 The Esplanade. It represents clients across Ontario, meeting people in person or by Zoom where the court permits it. The firm's work centers on three areas: DUI and impaired driving, assault and domestic violence charges, and theft and property offences. On the page it runs for its criminal defence practice, Cheema Law says it has helped more than 1,000 people work through DUI, assault, and other criminal charges in Ontario courts.

The firm bills matters on flat fee retainers rather than by the hour, so clients know the cost of a defence before it starts. It uses digital onboarding and online payments to handle the paperwork side of a case remotely, and it offers a free consultation to anyone facing a charge. Because Cheema Law handles most court appearances itself, clients can often keep working while a case moves through the system. The office also takes calls around the clock for urgent roadside stops or bail matters.

Who handles what

The neighbourhood

Cheema Law's office sits inside 8 The Esplanade, known as the L Tower, a 58 storey building designed by architect Daniel Libeskind and completed in 2016 near the intersection of Yonge and Front Streets. The tower stands in Toronto's St. Lawrence neighbourhood, next to Meridian Hall (the former Sony Centre for the Performing Arts) and within walking distance of Union Station and St. Lawrence Market. It's a downtown highrise address, which fits a firm that draws clients from across Ontario and meets many of them by Zoom rather than in person.
