No-nonsense criminal lawyer Dostaler tells it how it is

Don’t ask Ottawa criminal lawyer Céline Dostaler to sugarcoat the truth.

It’s just not in her nature. When clients first meet with her, often during a free initial consultation, Dostaler gives them all the same warning. “I’m going to tell you it how it is, whether or not you want to hear it,” she says. “I’m a very direct and upfront kind of person. If they want a second opinion, I encourage them to get one. I think it’s a good idea to meet with lawyers before you hire them.“
