About Empress Law Firm

Empress Law Firm is a solo criminal defence and family law practice based in Thornhill, Ontario, with an office at 55 Commerce Valley Drive West. Founder Charlotte Anderson earned a law degree from the University of Toronto's Faculty of Law, where the designation of U of T Scholar and consistent Dean's List standing came alongside multiple academic awards. Anderson is licensed as a lawyer by the Law Society of Ontario, and articled at a criminal defence and family law practice in Thornhill before opening Empress Law Firm in the same community.

The firm's work spans criminal defence matters such as bail hearings, assault, fraud, driving offences and breach charges, alongside family law files covering divorce, custody, parenting arrangements, and child and spousal support. It also takes on business law work including startups, contracts, share transfers and business disputes, plus notarization, commissioning, affidavits and independent legal advice. The firm's website is also available in Farsi, and Anderson has written articles on Ontario criminal and family law topics, including bail hearings, parental alienation and spousal support, going back to at least 2019.
