About De Boyrie Law

De Boyrie Law is a Toronto criminal defence firm founded by Alex De Boyrie. Before starting the practice, De Boyrie worked at another criminal defence firm in the GTA, then chose to open an independent practice focused entirely on criminal law. The firm now handles cases from bail hearings and assault charges through drug offences, sexual offence allegations, impaired driving, fraud, and weapons charges, with trial work in both the Ontario Court of Justice and the Superior Court of Justice.

De Boyrie holds a Bachelor of Arts Honours degree and an LL.B with First Class Honours, and belongs to the Criminal Lawyers' Association, the Toronto Lawyers Association, and the Canadian Bar Association. After finishing undergraduate studies, De Boyrie traveled internationally before starting law school, an experience the firm credits with bringing clarity toward a career in criminal defence. The office is at 100 King Street West in Toronto's Financial District, and the firm serves clients across the wider Greater Toronto Area, including Brampton, Mississauga, Vaughan, Markham, and Oshawa. Alex De Boyrie has also appeared as a guest commentator on Global News, CBC, the Toronto Star, and Yahoo News to discuss criminal law matters.

Who handles what

The neighbourhood

De Boyrie Law's office is in First Canadian Place, the 72-storey tower at 100 King Street West that was the tallest building in Canada for fifty years, from 1975 until 2025. That address puts the firm in the middle of Toronto's Financial District, among the head offices of national banks and downtown law firms, a different setting from the courthouse-adjacent storefronts many criminal defence practices use. From there, De Boyrie Law's founder still conducts trial work at the Ontario Court of Justice and the Superior Court of Justice, the two courts where Toronto's criminal matters are heard, and the firm takes on clients from across the wider GTA, from Brampton and Mississauga to Markham and Oshawa.
