Donich Law is a Toronto criminal, regulatory, and civil litigation firm at 120 Adelaide Street West, with Jordan Donich as principal lawyer. Donich has practiced law for over 10 years and represents clients in English and French across criminal defence, professional regulation, and civil litigation. A background in cybersecurity led to the firm's dedicated practice defending internet crime cases.
The firm's own materials describe a low volume practice, with a minimum of two lawyers assigned to most files and around the clock availability for existing clients. Its team includes lawyers with both Canadian and American legal education, and the firm carries excess liability insurance. Beyond its Toronto base, it says it has worked with clients from as far as British Columbia and Newfoundland, and represents the interests of legal insurers in Ontario.
Donich also created Law Newbie in 2019, a free online tool that walks the public through Canadian criminal court procedure, covering topics like rights on arrest, bail, and sentencing. Donich lectures on legal topics to business students at the Schulich School of Business in Toronto and has provided commentary on criminal law to national outlets including CTV News, CBC Radio, and the Globe and Mail.

Who handles what
The neighbourhood
Donich Law's office is at 120 Adelaide Street West in downtown Toronto. Since 2023, almost all criminal matters in the city are prosecuted out of the New Toronto Courthouse at 10 Armoury Street, and the firm's own site notes that as of summer 2024, most first appearance and set date court dates there are conducted over Zoom instead of in person. For a firm built around criminal defence, that shift means part of a case can now move forward by video link, though matters that go to trial still proceed through the courthouse in person.
