Compassionate, competent counsel who put their clients first. Highly recommended.

Welcome to a law firm that has a carefully crafted legal culture like no other. The seeds for DD Law Group were planted when Rob Dhanu and Uphar Dhaliwal decided to step away from secure legal careers to create a firm with a real life approach to law. From humble origins with our first office in the gritty Downtown Eastside of Vancouver to evolving into a flagship Fraser Valley law firm – DD Law Group has come a long way. This journey was possible due to an unwavering focus on a client-centred philosophy where the results spoke for themselves and word of mouth did the rest.
Rob is a former Federal Crown prosecutor who now practices in the areas of criminal defence, family law and personal injury. He is an experienced litigator who has taught and presented on various legal topics including for the RCMP, Justice Institute and the Canadian Senate.
Uphar brings a diverse array of experience to the areas of Family Law, Immigration Law and Wills & Estates. She is licensed to practice in B.C. and Washington State and regularly presents on various legal topics to lawyers, law students and other industry related professionals.
Rebecca is an experienced criminal lawyer who regularly deals with all manner of charges from simple assault matters to complicated drug trafficking investigations. Rebecca is an executive of the Fraser Valley Criminal Law Association, acts as ad-hoc counsel for the Community Legal Assistance Society and advises individuals as supported by the Ending Violence Association.
Shivleen was born and raised in Edmonton, Alberta and moved to the Lower Mainland in February of 2018 to begin her legal career. Shivleen attended the University of Alberta where she completed her Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology in 2015. She obtained her Juris Doctor degree from Bond University in Australia. While abroad, Shivleen gained practical experience while volunteering at Bond University’s Law Clinic and the Gold Coast Community Legal Centre. It was the combination of her experience at the Gold Coast Community Legal Centre and her volunteer experience in her undergraduate degree that ultimately solidified her desire to pursue family law.

Compassionate, competent counsel who put their clients first. Highly recommended.
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. Fees were charged as explained in our initial free consultation. 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.
I would highly recommend Rob Dhanu! He made a crazy stressful time as easy and pain free as possible.
I would highly recommend Rob Dhanu! He made a crazy stressful time as easy and pain free as possible. I experienced excellent communication, hard work, and integrity from The Dhanu Dhaliwal Law Group and I definitely would not hesitate to use him again in the future!

I hired Rebecca Gill to help me out with a pretty scary issue. I was worried I would lose everything…
…but Rebecca got me sorted out after just a couple of meetings. Rebecca made me feel a lot better while she worked on my case. I’d hire her again anytime. She is now my lawyer for life if face ever again by any bad situation as before. Again. Rebecca Gill was a beacon of hope to me at a time when my options appeared limited and the likelihood of a satisfactory resolution seemed nigh on impossible. Not only was she able to defend me from an unjust accusation, her calm and empathetic demeanor offered emotional succor to myself and those I care about. I am eternally grateful for her service and I hereby recommend her without reservation anytime.
My experience with this law firm has been outstanding. Mohit is wonderful. He shows a high level of commitment, patience and communication skills.

Having worked with lawyers over the years, I am grateful to have found a real professional in tough situations who demonstrates intelligence, is sharp and really cares for his clients.
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. It is difficult when someone is charged with a crime or having legal difficulties and Rob’s professional, calm and clear approach is very much appreciated. Rob maintains kindness and compassion for others while still being an exceptional lawyer in the law. He really fights for his client’s rights. I recommend him without hesitation.
Rob is a very well spoken articulate gentleman until he steps foot in the courtroom and you almost feel sorry for his opponent almost.i can not say enough good things about Rob and his team.
Rob and his team did and absolutely amazing job representing me. For three years we were in and out of court dates and trials.
The whole time rob made sure we stayed in contact and i was given reminders of court dates and hearings. And when my trial day came i couldnt believe the amount of work they did on my case. Honestly watching rob during trial is an impressive sight, its easy to see why this legal team has the reputation they do. I would recommend using dhanu dhaliwal law, I know i will be using his services again if needed
Mohit and Uphar are life savers, they saved me and all 5 of my children. Hard workers and caring people who really paid attention to what matters.
Rob was very thorough and straight forward with our family. Great and compassionate service. Would highly recommend.
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.
Mohit and Uphar are life savers, they saved me and all 5 of my children. Hard workers and caring people who really paid attention to what matters.

Thanks again Rob for all your hard work and dedication to your client and always getting the best possible outcome.
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…
…he exposed me to programs that put me on a totally different path than I was before. It was not just Rob but also the other lawyers and staff at DD Law Group who were always professional and prompt in returning my calls. 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.
This lawyer has been amazing in keeping families together and putting them back together and fighting for his clients best interest! Def recommend him as a lawyer!!!
Rob did an awesome job in and outside of the court room, he had my back the whole way through court proceedings. Thanks Rob, appreciate everything you did for me brother!
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.
We wanted more from the law and so should you. That’s why we created a law firm with a real life approach formulated to bring you the best possible results with the least amount of stress and expense. Welcome to a powerful client-centred philosophy that turns our passion for people into advantages for you.
We understand that legal issues in one area of the law can quickly spill over into other legal arenas. You need to know if admitting civil liability could assist a criminal prosecution or if your criminal case could lead to civil, family or immigration repercussions. Real life legal solutions means having access to lawyers under one roof with experience in a wide range of legal fields. That means no running around trying to find the right lawyers to answer your questions when you are most stressed and can least afford it. Whatever your legal issue, chances are we have a lawyer just down the hall who can provide the right advice which saves you time, money and stress.
Before joining DD Law Group, our lawyers were employed by big government, big corporations and big downtown law firms. We have dealt with everything from large scale civil litigation and complicated divorce settlements to sophisticated drug conspiracies and high stakes immigration board hearings. Real life legal solutions means having the experience to identify the correct legal issues, to develop a legal strategy on the front end and to see that strategy through. Actually having a game plan from the outset that you understand means less stress, greater efficiency and reduced cost. And if you are not completely satisfied with a result, we have the experience to appeal your case to the highest levels of court.
Lawyers traditionally focus on legal issues rather than the individuals behind them. We firmly believe that your story is a powerful tool that can define the narrative of a case and help you achieve the best possible legal result. We not only want to know your story, we want to help you shape where it leads. Real life legal solutions means working hard to identify and deal with the reasons your life intersected with the law in the first place. Where appropriate, we will work to address these real life issues through our trusted network of counsellors, doctors and other professionals. This allows us to build a powerful narrative to advocate on your behalf. At the same time, it allows for the possibility to effect powerful and positive change in your real life.
Legal cases are not just won by lawyers. They often require doctors, counsellors, health care workers, private detectives and other professionals with specialized knowledge. We rely upon a trusted network of professionals who not only have the ability to help you in your real life but who can also turn what appears to be a losing case into a winning one. Real life legal solutions means that you won’t be on your own when it comes to securing appropriate and quality professional help both for you and your legal matter.
We pride ourselves on a legal team that treat one another like an extended family rather than mere work colleagues. We want you to share in the unique culture we have developed. Real life legal solutions means dealing with a firm whose lines of communication are always open when a question or issue arises. We always endeavour to ensure you are not left in the dark or feeling alone when urgent matters require our attention. This atmosphere of openness is why the relationships we forge with our clients often continue long after a file is closed.
We understand that legal cases often arise unexpectedly and lead to unanticipated expense. This can be a significant stress piled upon the already stressful nature of your legal matter. Real life legal solutions means offering a variety of fee structures, payment plans and competitive rates that work for you.
