One of the highest-rated law firms in Toronto, going by its Google reviews.
Motevalli Law Group is a Toronto criminal defence firm led by lawyer Hossein Motevalli, working from an office on Church Street in the city's downtown core. The firm's practice covers a range of Criminal Code matters, including domestic assault, sexual assault, other assault charges, bail hearings, theft and fraud, impaired driving and other driving offences, drug charges, weapons and firearms offences, and youth offences. It represents clients from the initial arrest through bail hearings, trial preparation, and negotiated resolutions.
The firm offers services in English and Farsi, and it is listed as a Legal Aid Ontario lawyer, so clients who qualify for legal aid can retain it using a certificate. That same Legal Aid Ontario listing includes Gladue as an area of focus, the sentencing framework that applies to Indigenous accused under Canadian law. Hossein Motevalli is a member of the Law Society of Ontario and the Criminal Lawyers' Association. While the office is on Church Street, the firm's website describes representing clients across the wider Greater Toronto Area, including North York, Mississauga, Brampton, Scarborough, and Aurora, rather than limiting its work to a single courthouse.

The neighbourhood
The firm's Church Street address sits in Toronto's Garden District, a downtown neighbourhood named for the Allan Gardens conservatory that mixes Victorian era buildings with newer condo towers. Heritage records for the block note that some of the earliest surviving construction on Church Street dates back to the 1840s, a holdover in a stretch of downtown that has otherwise been rebuilt many times since. The firm's caseload isn't confined to that one corner of the city, though. Its website describes representing clients across the wider Greater Toronto Area, including North York, Mississauga, Brampton, Scarborough, and Aurora, so the Church Street office serves as a base for a practice that reaches well beyond downtown.
