A bitter-sweet moment for our beautiful building.

In April 2020, Primeau Law moved into what was formerly the Cosray Building. It was a beautiful and necessary home not only to Primeau Law but also to Jodie and Penelope Primeau.

As Primeau Law has now focused to Criminal Trials and Appeals, where the majority of our time is spent in court, we no longer need the large space this building provides.

120 Deep River Road is being sold with all of the beautiful renovations we have made over the years, keeping the memories of all of the staff and students who have helped build Primeau Law, the first steps and first words of our Primeau Law baby, and all the wonderful clients we have been able to serve from within these A-framed walls.

Once our building has sold, we will determine the new local location of our business - an address, of course, we will share with all of you immediately.

Thank you for all of your interest in our building and in our move. We are very lucky to have such great community support.

Criminal Law: Primeau Law’s New Chapter Begins

We’re excited to share some major news: Primeau Law is practicing exclusively in criminal law.

I'm Jodie Primeau, the owner and founder of Primeau Law. I am very proud and excited to be able to practice exclusively in my niche area of Criminal Law.

With 15 years of experience in criminal defence — from high-stakes trials to complex appeals — I’ve represented clients facing everything from impaired driving charges to serious fraud allegations. My work has taken me through countless trials and appeals, cross-examining police officers, challenging evidence under the Charter, and achieving dismissals and acquittals in cases where the odds were stacked against my clients.

I believe everyone deserves a fierce defence, big-city representation with local roots, and a lawyer who understands both the courtroom and the community. That’s what we deliver at Primeau Law.

As part of this new chapter, we’re launching a blog series designed to help anyone facing criminal charges in Ontario. We’ll cover topics like:

What to do if you’re charged with drunk driving

How appeals work in Ontario

The real consequences of a criminal record

Whether you live in Deep River, Arnprior, Pembroke, Petawawa, or anywhere in the Ottawa Valley, we’re here to provide professional, local, and effective representation when it matters most.

Follow along for timely legal insights, practical guidance, and updates that could make all the difference if you or someone you care about is facing charges.

Cohabitation Agreements – Do you need one?

As couples nowadays are less likely to “put a ring on it”, it has become important for people to discuss with their significant other whether or not a cohabitation agreement is necessary. While some may consider it awkward to talk with their partners about finances, it is very important to have these conversations and determine how you intend to manage those finances once you move in together. These agreements can even be entered into if you and your partner are already cohabiting.

Our family lawyer can help you navigate this process. Contact the office today to schedule your consultation.
