The Law Office of Robb MacDonald is a solo criminal defence practice in downtown Toronto, appearing in Ontario's Provincial and Superior courts, with a focus on jury trials covering charges from drug offences and assault to fraud, domestic and sexual assault, weapons offences, and homicide. The office is in the Fashion Building at 130 Spadina Avenue, where MacDonald shares law chambers with fellow criminal defence lawyers John Struthers and David Butt.

MacDonald graduated from Queen's University's law school in 2006 and was called to the bar in Ontario in 2007, after undergraduate studies at the University of Western Ontario and the University of Texas. Before starting a criminal defence practice, MacDonald worked at the law office of Edward Greenspan QC and articled in the advocacy department at Gowling Lafleur Henderson LLP, then left a position in finance at RBC Dominion Securities in 2003 to practise trial law. While in law school, MacDonald won the Arnup Cup and the Ontario Trial Lawyers' Association Cup, two provincial courtroom advocacy championships.

MacDonald has argued jury trials across Ontario, including a 2025 trial in Waterford, Ontario that ended in an acquittal, and a Collingwood, Ontario case in which manslaughter charges tied to a home invasion were withdrawn while serving as co-counsel. MacDonald has also provided commentary on Canadian criminal cases for CTV News, Global News, ET Canada, and eTalk.
