What We Defend

Criminal Defence Practice Areas

Assault

Assault is the application or threat of intentional force to another individual without their consent. Charges range from common assault to aggravated assault — each carrying serious consequences that require skilled defence.

Learn More

Domestic Assault

Domestic assault uses the same base definition as assault but applies to those assaults that take place within the context of a romantic relationship. These charges are treated very seriously by Crown prosecutors.

Learn More

Drug Offences

According to the Controlled Drug and Substances Act, you cannot lawfully have prohibited drugs in your possession at any time. Drug charges range from simple possession to trafficking — and all carry significant potential penalties.

Learn More

Firearms & Weapons Offences

The Firearms Act and the Criminal Code legislate Canadian rules surrounding firearms and weapons. Whether the charge involves possession, use, or trafficking of a weapon, a strong defence is essential.

Learn More

Impaired Driving

Impaired driving is defined as operating or having care and control of a motor vehicle while impaired by alcohol, drugs, or a combination of both. Convictions carry mandatory minimums, licence suspensions, and potential jail time.

Learn More

Internet Crimes

Internet crime, also known as cybercrime, is a rapidly evolving area of Canadian law involving offences committed through the use of computers and the internet. These charges carry unique evidentiary challenges requiring specialized defence.

Learn More

Voyeurism

As technology advances, so too does the concern that it can be misused to secretly observe others. Voyeurism charges under the Criminal Code are treated seriously and can permanently impact your record and reputation.

Learn More

Sexual Offences

Sexual offences refer to any intentional application of force that is sexual in nature without the consent of the other individual. These charges carry severe penalties and require immediate, experienced legal representation.

Learn More

Theft & Fraud

Theft and fraud charges fall under two categories depending on the value involved: under $5,000 or over $5,000. Both carry significant consequences including a criminal record that can affect employment and travel.

Learn More

Youth Criminal Justice

Offences committed by youths between the ages of 12 and 17 are governed by the Youth Criminal Justice Act (YCJA). Young people deserve representation that prioritizes rehabilitation and protects their future.
