Guelph has a criminal courthouse of its own. Guelph Courthouse, 36 Wyndham Street South, is on the Province's register for Wellington and hears criminal and criminal youth matters. The 10 criminal lawyers in Ontario on this page work from Guelph offices or, in one case, from Fergus, and many of them keep a second office in another Wellington town.

Joseph Fera Law Office, at 329 Woolwich Street, keeps further offices in Milton, Fergus, Arthur and Mount Forest. RHN Law is a boutique firm on Woolwich Street led by principal lawyer Ronald H. Neal. Foote Law is a woman-owned firm in Fergus serving Centre Wellington and Wellington County, with an Orangeville office too, and it takes work from first police contact through bail, disclosure, resolution discussions and trial.

The firms' own sites name Wellington County, Kitchener and Milton and Fergus most often, with Orangeville, Walkerton, Woodstock, Stratford, Cambridge and Waterloo each named once. That makes this page useful to people charged well outside the city limits, in the small towns around it as well as in Kitchener-Waterloo.
