Questions About
Criminal Defence?
As early as possible. If you have been arrested, charged, contacted by police, or believe you are under investigation, obtaining legal advice early can help you understand your rights, obligations, and available options.
Remain calm and remember that you have the right to remain silent. If you are arrested or detained, you also have the right to speak with a lawyer. Do not discuss the allegations with police or anyone else before obtaining legal advice. A criminal defence lawyer can explain your rights, review the circumstances of your case, and advise you on the next steps.
Yes. Communications between you and your lawyer are confidential and generally protected by solicitor-client privilege. We will not discuss your case or share information about your matter with anyone else without your permission, except where disclosure is required or permitted by law or professional obligations.
Yes. A criminal charge can affect many aspects of your life, including your freedom, employment, family relationships, finances, and travel. Your life does not stop while you wait for your first court date, and the timeline of your life does not always align with the court’s timeline. Seeking legal advice early can help protect your rights and ensure that important issues are addressed from the beginning.
Your lawyer can advise you about speaking with police, bail and release conditions, disclosure and other procedural issues. If your criminal matter intersects with other legal issues, including family law matters, your lawyer can help you understand how the criminal proceedings may affect those issues and where appropriate, coordinate with other legal professionals involved in your case.
Our practice includes criminal charges and investigations, bail hearings, appeals, assault, sexual offences, impaired driving, drug offences, weapons offences, fraud, theft, breaches of court orders, and other serious and complex criminal matters.
