If you've been charged with a criminal offence in Orangeville or anywhere in Dufferin County, the most important decision you'll make is who represents you. I'm Elias Rabinovitch, a Toronto criminal lawyer who handles every Orangeville file personally, no associates, no handoffs.

Orangeville is the county seat of Dufferin County and its criminal matters are heard at the Dufferin County Courthouse at 51 Zina Street. As a rural and agricultural community north of Brampton, Dufferin County sees a range of charges including impaired driving, domestic violence, and drug offences. The smaller courthouse means matters can move relatively quickly. I represent Orangeville and Dufferin County clients personally.
