Criminal Defence Services We Offer
Impaired Driving & Roadside Sanctions (IRS)
An impaired driving allegation can quickly affect your licence, your ability to work, and your day-to-day life. We help clients respond to both the criminal charge and the related legal consequences that can follow.
If you have been charged with impaired driving, early advice can make a significant difference in how your case is handled.

Criminal Appeals
A conviction or sentence may not always be the end of the matter. In some cases, there may be legal grounds to appeal a decision and have it reviewed by a higher court.
We help clients assess whether an appeal may be available and what the next steps could involve.
Assault Charges
Assault allegations can arise in many different circumstances, from arguments and physical altercations to more serious accusations involving weapons or bodily harm. The consequences can be serious, especially if a conviction results in a criminal record.
We take assault charges seriously and help clients understand the allegation, review the evidence, and build a defence based on the facts of the case.
Bail Hearings & Judicial Interim Release
If you are arrested and not released by police, the bail hearing is one of the most important early stages of the case. It may determine whether you remain in custody or are released while your matter moves through the court process.
We help clients and families respond quickly, prepare a release plan, and advocate for reasonable bail where it is available.
Drug Offences
Drug charges can involve possession, trafficking, production, or other allegations under the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act. These cases can carry serious legal and personal consequences.
Simple possession of controlled substances
Possession for the purpose of trafficking
Drug trafficking and distribution
Production and cultivation offences
Drug conspiracy charges
We help clients understand the allegations, review the evidence carefully, and challenge the Crown’s case where possible.
Protecting Your Charter Rights
Your rights matter at every stage of a criminal case. Police and investigators are required to respect important legal protections, including your right to know why you were arrested and your right to speak with counsel without delay.
When those rights are not respected, it can affect the admissibility of evidence and the strength of the Crown’s case. We review arrests, searches, statements, and police conduct closely as part of your defence.
