The legal community in Timmins and Toronto is mourning the passing of Peter James Doucet, a seasoned family law attorney, litigator, and advocate who dedicated nearly four decades to helping clients across Ontario navigate complex legal challenges.
Peter Doucet Death
Called to the bar in 1986, Doucet built a distinguished career as a Barrister and Solicitor, known for his tenacity, skill, and commitment to delivering results. For more than thirty years, he represented clients from all walks of life in family law, employment law, and civil litigation, appearing at all levels of courts across Ontario.
Doucet’s practice, Peter J.

Known as a tough and effective advocate, he approached each case with a clear goal: to solve problems quickly, efficiently, and with compassion for the people he served.
Beyond his courtroom work, Doucet was the host of The Law Barrister, where he shared his legal expertise with a wider audience, helping demystify the law and making it more accessible to the public.
Colleagues and clients alike remember him not only for his sharp legal mind but also for his warmth, professionalism, and dedication to fairness. His sudden passing leaves a significant void in both the Timmins and Toronto legal communities.
