About Us

Cobourg is a lovely historical town on the shores of Lake Ontario. It also is the location of the main courthouse for Northumberland County. If you were charged in the Cobourg area with a DUI offence such as impaired or over 80, or with any other criminal offence while in Cobourg or anywhere else in Northumberland County, your matter will be heard in that courthouse.

No matter what offence you have been charged with, you should get advice from a criminal lawyer immediately. However, acting quickly is especially important with DUI charges as a delay could affect how soon you get to drive again.

The lawyers of the criminal law firm of Aitken Robertson are knowledgeable and experienced in many areas of criminal law. If it was a DUI offence for which you were charged, Aitken Robertson is a good firm to turn to as some of the lawyers at this firm are trained “Breath Techs,” which means that they are particularly knowledgeable about the proper operation of the breath testing instruments used by police in these drinking and driving cases.

Aitken Robertson can help with more than just DUI cases. The firm’s team of lawyers have many years of combined experience in many other areas of law as well, including assault, sexual offences, domestic assault, child porn, mischief, fraud, theft, criminal harassment, drug offences and young offenders. Richard Aitken himself has been practising criminal law for some 35 years!

Not only are the lawyers of Aitken Robertson knowledgeable about criminal law, they know the Cobourg court, its judges and Crown Attorneys.

Whatever your criminal charges are, contact Aitken Robertson, for a free 30-minute consultation. You’ll be able to discuss your case, including possible outcomes, with an Aitken Robertson lawyer. And, you’ll get a quote on the legal fees – a quote that you will be able to rely on.

Aitken Robertson uses a block fee billing system rather than hourly fee billing. A block fee billing system is more predictable, so there won’t be any surprises when you get your final bill. And, Aitken Robertson offers reasonable payments plans with no interest. The lawyers of Aitken Robertson will not bill you for minor disbursements like photocopies and postage. They will not bill you for mileage or other travel expenses. And, they will not bill you for time spent on phone calls etc.

Aitken Robertson has offices throughout Ontario and with flexible weekend and evening hours.
