Being charged with a criminal offence in Toronto is stressful. Choosing a lawyer who can appear at the city’s current courthouses — and who will explain the process clearly — matters from the first day.
Call us at 1-866-720-2245 for a free, confidential 30-minute case review. Gilbert Barristers & Solicitors is a Toronto criminal defence firm. We appear in courthouses across Ontario, including Toronto.
The courthouse
Most Toronto criminal cases now go to three buildings: the Ontario Court of Justice at 10 Armoury Street (first appearances, pleas, most trials, including youth); the Toronto Regional Bail Centre at 2201 Finch Avenue West (adult bail for people in custody); and the Superior Court of Justice at 361 University Avenue (jury trials and the most serious cases). Appeals are heard at Osgoode Hall, 130 Queen Street West. Old City Hall, College Park, 1000 Finch Avenue West, 1911 Eglinton Avenue East and 311 Jarvis Street no longer hear criminal cases.
