Anyone looking for criminal lawyers in Ontario with a Scarborough office will find 42 practices and sole lawyers here. Scarborough is within Toronto, so the criminal courthouses on the Province's register for the area are Toronto courthouses, and the nearest of them are 17 km away. A lawyer with a Scarborough address is, in most cases, one who also works across the rest of Toronto and the wider GTA, and the places these offices name bear that out: Toronto above all, then Mississauga, Brampton, Markham, Newmarket, Barrie and Oshawa.
Three criminal courthouses in Toronto are on the Province's register. Ontario Court of Justice, Toronto is at 10 Armoury Street and lists criminal and criminal youth court types; it is 17 km from Scarborough. 361 University - Toronto, at 361 University Ave., lists criminal and family court types and offers French-language services; it is also 17 km away. 2201 Finch - Toronto, at 2201 Finch Ave. West, lists criminal court and offers French-language services; it is 21 km from Scarborough. Every charge under the Criminal Code starts in the Ontario Court of Justice, and nearly all of them are completed there. That is why the lawyers here describe their work in terms of bail hearings, disclosure and trial in the Toronto courts, and why a Scarborough address matters less than the charges a lawyer takes on.
