Céline Dostaler Criminal Defence Lawyer

Celine makes promises she can keep

Celine is the best criminal defence lawyer.  She makes promises she can keep.  I was charged with assault and choking.  The Crown wanted me to go to jail.  She looked at the entire file and told me what to expect in my case.  And she delivered exactly what she predicted.  We went to trial because the charges were nowhere near what happened, and everything at trial happened how she expected.  Go see Celine if you want an honest, no-nonsense lawyer who will deliver on her promises.

Celine is an awesome lawyer.

Celine is an awesome lawyer. I was charged with breaking and entering in Ottawa. I drank too much and thought it would be funny if I climbed into a construction trailer. But Celine got my charges dropped. I learned many things from that experience: 1. Hire Celine if you want to win, and 2. Don’t climb into a construction trailer.

D.S.

Celine is a great lawyer.

I was charged with sexual assault and sexual interference in Brockville, Ontario.  My ex-girlfriend’s daughter told her mother that I had sexually abused her.  I was innocent, and desperate for someone to listen to me. I was scared that if the judge believed this kid, I was going to be locked away in jail for years, for something I didn’t do.  I hired Celine because of all the great reviews - and I have to say - she is a great lawyer.  At trial, Celine questioned my accuser for half a day, until the kid stopped answering any questions - she was caught in a lie and she knew it, and she told the judge that she didn’t want to lie anymore.  All charges were dropped against me.  Celine is a great lawyer.

T.S.

Thank you so much.

Ms. Dostaler has been incredible throughout the whole process.  I have never been charged in my whole life, and I’ve never dealt with the police.  When the police arrested me for a charge of harassment and unlawfully entering a dwelling, I didn’t know what to do. I thought my life was over, I thought I would be sent to jail and they’d throw away the key.  Instead, I decided to stand up for myself, and find a criminal defence lawyer in Ottawa.  I found Ms. Dostaler, and she immediately put me at ease - she explained what to expect and how we could work together to get the best outcome.  Her hard work and patience answering all my worries proved the best decision I could have made - the judge gave me a discharge.  Thank you so much.

Celine is my hero - the best criminal lawyer in Ottawa.

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 was charged with trafficking cocaine, and the charges were dropped because of her. She really does answer all her calls and emails personally. Anytime I had questions, she was happy to answer them and made sure that I understood what was happening.

J.C.

Thank you with all my heart.

When my husband was charged with a serious assault it tore our family apart. We were scared that if he goes to jail he’d lose his job, and we’d lose our house. Celine worked tirelessly for his defence, she helped us get the best results.

M.B.

I managed to conclude a very upsetting part of my life with a happy ending, who can ask for a better result?

I found Céline after an online search for transit mischief defense.  She proved herself to be very knowledgeable about the various outcomes and after a detailed interview, advised me she would pursue a solution that did not include a conviction.  It was a high-profile case with front page coverage in the local media, so she was required to respond to reporters as well as mount a successful defense. 

One of her best assets is the way that she put me at ease, her reassuring and confident tone put an end to my sleepless nights!  And then the time came to deliver the good news:  the Crown was dropping the charges in exchange for a routine diversion program completion.  She even helped proof-read my letter of apology!

It was all in all a very positive experience and I highly recommend Céline Dostaler if you need a strong and capable (fluently bilingual) defense attorney.  Please also note that my court case was in Kingston, not Ottawa, but she delivered the best outcome even in another city!

I managed to conclude a very upsetting part of my life with a happy ending, who can ask for a better result?

P. S.

I highly recommend Celine Dostaler.

Thank you for the excellent services!  You went above and beyond, and achieved excellent results.  I was charged with Gambling fraud and Cheating at play.Celine is an excellent lawyer, and delivers excellent services.

Celine is probably the best option you have in getting yourself out of trouble

Celine recently represented my son in a criminal matter. We live in Ottawa, Ontario, and my son was involved in a situation that involved the police — having never dealt with anything like this before we did not know what to expect. Not only was Celine an exceptional communicator with our entire family, but she also advocated my son's case like a true expert. Celine was successful at getting all charges dropped, and today my son can rebuild his life. We could not be more thankful. For anyone in need of a quality criminal lawyer, we recommend Celine Dostaler. She is probably the best option you have in getting yourself out of trouble.

I met with Celine after I was charged with a DUI and dangerous driving.  The crown wanted to take my licence away for many years.  I knew I screwed up, but I couldn’t lose my licence for that long.  Celine fought hard, and negotiated a great deal on my behalf.  The Crown dropped the dangerous driving, and now I can get the interlock device and my licence back in 90 days.

I’ve had lawyers before working on my case that showed no interest and no efforts and no patience for the matter, when i met Celine she assured me what she fights for, you.


Celine made it possible for a father to return to his family and focus on what matters the most, and i can’t thank them enough for everything they’ve done for me to do so.

Thank you for all your hard work.

Thank you so much for all your hard work. I was charged with impaired driving. I was in an accident and concussed, but I was not the one driving. The police just assumed I was the driver, and stopped their investigation right there. In their mind, I was guilty no matter what. Celine worked tirelessly to fight my case. I was acquitted after a long trial, and finally can breathe again. Thank you for all your hard work.

I contacted Celine, and she immediately put me at ease.

My daughter has ADHD and aggression issues, and does not always think about the consequences of her actions.  She was charged with assault with a weapon and breaching her conditions.  When she was charged, I was worried for her - as any mother would be.  I contacted Celine, and she immediately put me at ease.  She always answered all my questions, is very knowledgeable and professional. My daughter does not have a criminal record.

O.B.

The judge found me not guilty

I was charged with a DUI in L’Orignal, because I was in the driver’s seat of the car. I was supposed to be a DD, but drank too much.  I went to the car and charged my phone, hoping to call a cab or find a place to stay the night.  The police stopped me because I was in the driver’s seat.  I was terrified of getting a criminal record and losing my licence. I was acquitted after trial.  The judge found me not guilty.  Celine worked very hard and was very dedicated to my case.

I highly recommend Céline to everyone.

I was stupid: I got drunk, made a wrong decision and damaged a roommate's things so she would leave instead of just kicking her out of my house.  I was charged with mischief and uttering threats.  I did a lot of research to find  a good lawyer that would fight for me, and the research paid off.  With Céline, I did not get a criminal record.  The Crown dropped the charge as long as I stay away from my old roommate.  I highly recommend Céline to everyone.

I hired Céline before I faced the judge for sentence - the Crown told me he wanted me to go to jail. Céline convinced the judge otherwise. Thanks Céline. 

P.P.
