Rob made me a priority over his own personal life and would always make himself available when I most needed him…
DD Law Group not only gave me their 100% during my case, but they even provided guidance and support to me after my case was over. I have had Rob Dhanu as my lawyer for many years now and I would not have it any other way. I am now free from years of court battles and have a great career and 4 children who won’t be worried about me leaving again. It is so nice to have someone who really cares about my life and my family. Thank-you for being there every single time.
It is very hard for my father to compliment anyone on his work especially an attorney, but when all was settled he did just that. Rob Dhanu defended my father on weapons charges.
He was very sympathetic and empathetic with regards to our case. He made what could have been a very stressful situation, stress free. That was very important to our entire family. Rob took the time to keep us informed, and did his best to expedite the case. Although sometimes I do believe that is out of his hands. Our case was somewhat simple however In the end we were extremely pleased and would highly recommend his services for any type of defence be it simple or much more complex.
Rob Dhanu and his team of legal professionals are kind, compassionate and committed to helping their clients so they can have a brighter future. Honestly, if you made a mistake and you’ve been criminally charged, I highly recommend hiring Rob Dhanu as your lawyer, he thoroughly examines your case and if your making positive changes in your life and didn’t mean to be criminally charged he will find the best resolution for your legal issues!
I just had him win my trial with a dismissal and he makes it look easy, always comes correct and ready for war.
I’ve had Rob Dhanu as my lawyer for many years now with no complaints. He has always been str8 up never beats around the bush and tells you how it is with no sugar coating. Not only is he a stand up guy hands down but he knows his law. I have had Rob on my side now for almost 10 years and will always be using him for any trouble with my family or myself for years to come. Thanks again Rob for all your hard work and dedication to your client and always getting the best possible outcome.

I met Rob when a family member required legal help. I have found Rob to be an excellent lawyer over the years and have referred other clients to him.

I can honestly say that Rob changed the course of my life. Not only did he get me bail when I thought it was impossible…

Rob always gave me straight talk, good advice and the direction I needed in my life. I am eternally grateful and would recommend Rob and DD Law Group to anyone for criminal or family law.

Rod Dhanu is one incredible lawyer. He will fight like no one else. I didn’t have much knowledge how thing’s worked. With the court system . The stress was crazy Mr Dhanu was great at explain and knocking the stress levels down ..
My case went on for 6 year partly due to covid ..when we finally got to trial it was crazy how Mr Dhanu picked every part of the case apart . Had rcmp offices stumbing and getting caught lies.. it was unbelievable how foolish he made them look . I had some pretty heavy charges he saved me a lot of my life by getting everything thrown out.. I suggested at different that we should settle .. he advised me to hold fast that we had a very good chance of beating the case. I wasn’t sure how , after seeing him work I understood. He is a master at what he does. If you want someone that will fight like no other Mr Dhanu should be you first choice..
Good luck
Rob has great court presence and was able to express what I was thinking and feeling which made me feel like my voice was truly heard.
Rob is a great lawyer who took the time to truly get to know me. He is easy going, easy to talk to and has a natural ability to relate to people and get things done. Speaking to Rob has always been more like speaking to a friend than a lawyer. I always refer Rob to anyone who needs a lawyer.
