Criminal Lawyers in Markham, ON

Markham sits in York, and criminal lawyers in Ontario who practise from the city fall into two groups: firms built around criminal and traffic defence, and general practices that take criminal files next to wills, family law, real estate and immigration. This page carries 22 of them. Smaller communities share it, with one firm based in Unionville and one in Whitchurch-Stouffville. Lawyers here work across the Greater Toronto Area, and the places they name most often are Toronto, Richmond Hill, Vaughan and Newmarket.

Dikson Law, a Markham practice led by Dikson Kiru, says it serves clients at courthouses across Toronto, Newmarket, Brampton, Hamilton, Niagara and Kitchener, which shows how far a Markham office's work can reach.
