Alex De Boyrie is a Toronto criminal defence lawyer and the founder of De Boyrie Law, a GTA-focused defence firm built on the principle that every person charged with a criminal offence deserves thorough, fearless, and individualized representation. His practice spans the full range of criminal law – from bail hearings to trial – with a consistent focus on protecting clients’ rights, reputations, and futures.

Alex established De Boyrie Law to offer something that larger, less personal firms often struggle to provide: a genuinely client-centred experience from the first phone call to the resolution of the case. Every file he takes on begins the same way – with careful listening. Before strategy, before procedure, before paperwork, Alex takes time to understand who his client is, what is at stake for them, and what outcome will best serve their long-term interests.

 

Toronto Criminal Defence Lawyer


This human-first approach informs everything that follows. Alex conducts a thorough review of the Crown’s evidence at the earliest opportunity, identifying procedural vulnerabilities, evidentiary weaknesses, and legal arguments that can be used to strengthen the defence. Where early resolution – through withdrawal, peace bond, diversion, or negotiated plea – is genuinely in a client’s best interest, he pursues it with the same conviction he brings to a full trial.

What distinguishes Alex’s practice as a criminal defence lawyer in Toronto is his preparation. He draws on a trusted network of investigators, forensic specialists, and subject-matter experts to build the most complete and compelling defence possible for each individual case. Whether he is cross-examining a key Crown witness, arguing a Charter application, or presenting before a jury, his preparation is never in question.

Alex De Boyrie is committed to transparent, accessible legal representation. From the initial consultation, clients receive a clear breakdown of the process, their options, and the fee structure, including available payment plans and flat-rate arrangements. This commitment to clarity extends throughout the retainer: clients are kept fully informed at every stage so they can make confident, informed decisions about their own case.


Results-Driven Criminal Defence for GTA Clients

Alex’s approach is straightforward: his goal in every matter is the best possible outcome, achieved through the best possible preparation. He is equally effective at the negotiating table and in the courtroom, and he does not shy away from complex, contested, or high-stakes cases.

Q What should I do immediately after being charged with a criminal offence in Toronto?

Exercise your right to silence and request to speak with a lawyer immediately. Do not answer police questions or provide a statement without legal counsel present. Contact a Toronto criminal defence lawyer as early as possible - the steps taken in the first hours after a charge can significantly affect the outcome of your case.

Q What is a bail hearing and why does it matter?

A bail hearing (show cause hearing) determines whether you will be released from custody pending trial. The conditions of your release, and whether release is granted at all can have a major impact on your ability to prepare a strong defence. An experienced criminal defence lawyer can make compelling arguments for your release and challenge unreasonable conditions.

Q Can criminal charges be withdrawn or stayed before trial?

Yes. In many cases, charges can be resolved before reaching trial through withdrawal by the Crown, diversion programs, peace bonds, or negotiated resolutions. An experienced Toronto criminal defence lawyer will assess the Crown's evidence early and pursue every available path to resolution that is in your best interest.

Q Does De Boyrie Law offer payment plans?

Yes. De Boyrie Law offers payment plans, flat-rate / block fee arrangements, and accepts credit cards, ensuring that access to experienced criminal defence representation is not limited by financial circumstances.
