About Jody A. Matthew

Jody Matthew Law is a sole criminal defence practice based in Aurora, Ontario, serving Newmarket and the wider Greater Toronto Area. Jody Matthew studied at Osgoode Hall Law School in Toronto, with course work focused on criminal law, the Youth Criminal Justice Act, and Indigenous justice, and has practised criminal defence for more than 20 years. The practice appears before the Ontario Court of Justice, the Superior Court of Justice, and the Court of Appeal of Ontario, and Jody Matthew sits on the Gladue panel that prepares reports for Indigenous clients during sentencing.

The firm defends adults and youth against the full range of criminal charges, including serious matters such as murder, kidnapping, and drug offences, along with bail hearings and preliminary hearings. Jody Matthew Law also works with clients affected by mental health issues and addiction, and looks for resolutions that avoid a full trial where the facts allow it. The practice is on the Legal Aid Ontario roster for criminal and Gladue services, and it also offers a free consultation and payment plans.
