Christopher Dobson
Barrister and Solicitor
With over 30 years of trial experience, Chris has built a successful practice in London, Ontario.
Chris has expertise working with clients carrying complex histories, including serious mental illness, addiction, developmental challenges, learning disorders, autism spectrum disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, acquired brain injury, and trauma. He received the Champion of Mental Health Award, the Access to Justice Award, and the Janet McEwen Award for his work serving these clients. In 2012, Chris was presented with the Diamond Jubilee Medal for his assistance in establishing London’s specialty courts: the Adult Therapeutic Court, the Gladue Court for Indigenous Peoples, and the Drug Treatment Court.
Chris believes that when the mental, emotional, spiritual, and physical needs of his clients are met, the interests of justice are better served.
When not working, Chris connects with his other passions: nature, prayer, poetry, art, and the enjoyment of a silent space.
Alexander Dobson
Barrister and Solicitor
Alex was called to the bar in 2020. He completed his law degree in the United Kingdom at the University of Bristol, following his undergrad at Western University. The rain prompted a quick return to Canada, where he trained with Criminal Lawyer, Richard Braiden.
Alex shares Chris's passion for social justice. His volunteer work with the John Howard Society Bail Program, supervising clients awaiting trial, helped solidify his interest in Criminal Law. It provided a window into the lives of those struggling through a system that fails to provide for their basic needs. He is an informed, personable, non-judgmental advocate who is committed to just results for his clients.
In his free time, you may find him donating golf balls to a local golf course.
