About TOMLAW Professional Corporation
TOMLAW Professional Corporation is a small criminal defence practice in downtown Toronto, run by lawyer Geary Tomlinson. It represents people facing criminal charges at courthouses across the Greater Toronto Area, working under the motto "reason overcomes conviction." Tomlinson holds a business degree from Ryerson University, now Toronto Metropolitan University, and a law degree from Osgoode Hall Law School, and is a past president of the Black Law Students Association. Articles were completed at a Bay Street firm that focused on bankruptcy and insolvency work. Criminal defence experience followed with a sole practitioner in Brampton, before the practice that became TOMLAW.
The practice concentrates on trial advocacy, with over 20 years of courtroom experience defending a range of criminal cases. Tomlinson's advocacy in a high profile Toronto criminal trial in 2020 and 2021 drew coverage from the Toronto Star, CTV News, Global News and CBC.

The neighbourhood
TOMLAW's office is at 36 Toronto Street, a heritage designated structure built in 1914 by Toronto architect E.J. Lennox. The building sits within the St. Lawrence Neighbourhood Heritage Conservation District, on a stretch of Toronto Street that historically anchored the city's corporate and financial sector in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, a transition point between the modern Financial District and the older St. Lawrence neighbourhood.
