I recently hired Michael Johnston to represent me in court and handle my criminal case. From start to finish, Mr. Johnston demonstrated exceptional professionalism and left zero doubt in my mind him and his team have achieved mastery in their craft. Throughout all the angst and pressure, Mr. Johnston always took the time out of his busy schedule to answer all questions and settle my nerves with his comforting confidence. Mr. Johnston and his team are true professionals, and were able to secure results I didn't think were possible. I would HIGHLY recommend this team to anyone, you'd be in the best of hands. Can't thank him enough. -Brad
Michael Johnston is the best lawyer in Canada and will be on the Supreme Court one day. I was framed by the police and complainant in an attempt to get back at me and Michael demanded that the case be thrown out immediately in one of the remand courts. The justice turned to the Crown and said Mr. Johnston had convinced her and the matter should be dropped forthwith. It was and Michael even assisted with having a peace bond put on the complainant. I can't thank him enough.

DAVID ANBER'S LAW OFFICE REVIEWS
I was very lucky to have found David Anber and his team and I would recommend him to anyone. I was facing Impaired Driving charges and with David's expertise and knowledge he was able to knock my charge down to a conditional discharge of Mischief. David gave me a second chance with my license and I couldn't be more thankful. His team we're always friendly, organized and very quick to answer any questions I might have. And if they didn't have the answer, David would respond personally, immediately. They made sure I understood everything, every step of the way. His rates are expensive but David is one of the best criminal lawyers in Ottawa and is worth the price.
I could not be more pleased with David and the outcome of my DUI case. If you are serious about getting great representation, constant communication, someone who pays attention to every detail and provides their honest opinion, I highly suggest David Anber's Law Office. There was never an instance where I doubted his abilities and although he could not guarantee a positive outcome (who can), he managed to get a deal I never thought would be offered or accepted.
Really professional services with trust. I did Traffic violation on the highway in city on the road and hired David Anber then no headache he did his role professionally without my attendance with results better than I wished. I recommend any one without hesitation work with these guys and their best feature is customer service David by himself reply on any text message even at late night or on weekend . He never miss any text clarification from me so I would give this guy 7 stars with confidence

CELINE DOSTALER REVIEWS
I would highly recommend this lawyer in any criminal offense charges. I was a college student who was getting good grades doing good in life when suddenly my life changed for the far worse. I had one bad friend who put me in a situation where I got in serious trouble I was looking at 3 years in prison thankfully I called up Celine because the confidence this lawyer has was very helpful and reassuring. She proved my innocence and had my charges dropped. I can now go back and live a normal life again! Thanks Celine!
I was charged with sexual assault in Ottawa. I tried telling the cops I didn’t do it, but they didn’t believe me. No one believed me. They wanted to lock me up for years for something I didn’t do. I got to see Celine in a trial and she was fantastic. She showed the judge that my accuser was lying and making up stories. Celine fought hard and I was vindicated and acquitted. Celine is my hero - the best criminal lawyer in Ottawa.
I can not say enough good about my defence lawyer Celine Dostaler. I was in a terrible situation and was at risk of hurting my career. Celine was in control the entire way. All my charges were dropped and I could not be more grateful for this seasoned lawyer. 10/10! - Stacey D
