Where is the London courthouse?

Most London criminal cases are heard at the London Courthouse at 80 Dundas Street, London, ON N6A 6A3. Both Ontario Court of Justice and Superior Court of Justice matters are heard at this building.

What should I do if I have been charged by London Police Service or the OPP?

Do not speak to police beyond identifying yourself. Anything you say can be used against you at trial. Retain a criminal defence lawyer before your first appearance.

Does Daniel Brown Law represent clients at London court?

Yes. The lawyers at Daniel Brown Law travel to the London courthouse for impaired driving, assault, domestic assault, sexual offences, weapons charges, drug offences, fraud, and homicide cases — including high-profile London-area matters.

Does having a lawyer at a bail hearing in London matter?

It often makes the difference between release and detention. A contested bail hearing requires counsel to address the Crown's position, propose a release plan, and call sureties where needed.

What happens at a first appearance in London?

Nothing is decided at a first appearance. The court confirms you have counsel and sets the next date so disclosure can be reviewed. Your lawyer can appear on your behalf so you do not need to travel to London in person.
