Murder / Manslaughter

I understand how high the stakes can be with charges of Murder or Manslaughter. For those convicted, the sentences are among the highest available in Canada.

Assault

Assault Causing Bodily Harm and Aggravated Assault.

“Assault” can cover a wide variety of allegations, from minor assaults that seem out of place in Criminal Court, to serious cases of Aggravated Assault. A case by case approach that focuses on your particular situation is essential.

Domestic or Spousal Assault Allegations

Over the last several years allegations of spousal or domestic violence (assaults and threats) have seen increased attention from authorities.

Sexual Offences

Convictions for sexual offences can have serious and life altering consequences. If you are accused of Sexual Assault, Sexual Interference, or a related offence you need someone to protect your rights and your future.

Drug Offences

Defending drug offences requires a thorough knowledge of the rights guaranteed by the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Drug cases often turn on whether or not police were within their rights to search a person, house, or vehicle.

Driving Offences

Many driving offences can result in the loss of your driver’s license for months or even years. You need help from someone who understands your rights and your legal options.

Theft/Fraud

Theft, fraud and property offences can cover a wide variety of conduct. The key to a strong defence is to understand how a case differs from others.

First Nations

The over-representation of First Nations persons in Criminal prosecutions is well understood. Canadian courts have have begun to recognize this fact and take it into consideration.
