Justice Needs a Fierce Defence — We’re Here for You
Assault Crimes
Under Canadian Law, assault is a serious offence falling under different sections of the Criminal Code depending on the nature and severity of the crime. These can be a simple assault, an assault with a weapon, or an aggravated assault. These carry maximum prison sentences ranging from 5 to 14 years. Such are the high stakes involved that you would need the services of an experienced criminal defence lawyer to protect your rights immediately upon being charged. We have an excellent track record of defending our clients in all kinds of assault cases over the last two decades. Talk to our legal team today for assistance and legal representation in your case.
Driving Offences
While many consider impaired driving to be a minor offence, you should know that it can leave you with a permanent criminal record if convicted. To promote road safety, Canada has been implementing stricter DUI laws and penalties at the federal and provincial levels. Our DUI lawyers are well-versed in the provincial laws, relevant sections of the Criminal Code, and the Highway Traffic Act concerning impaired driving. Whether you are a first-time offender or a repeat offender falling under the stricter provisions of the law, our criminal defence team can help you with your case. Connect with our criminal defence team today for legal counsel!
Property Crimes
When charged with property offences, you need to immediately get in touch with an experienced property crime lawyer to advise you on your available legal options. Serious offences such as arson, breaking and entering, robbery, theft, and motor vehicle theft fall under the category of property crimes in the Criminal Code. If convicted, these crimes could result in maximum prison terms ranging from 2 to 14 years, depending on the nature and severity of the crime. Our criminal lawyers will gather the evidence and build a strong defence to fight against the charges levelled against you.
Sexual Offenses
A conviction in a sexual offence case can lead to lifelong repercussions affecting your professional and personal life. The stigma associated with sexual crime will cost you relationships, future employment opportunities, and your ability to travel outside the country. If convicted, on top of the prison term, you will also be required to register as a sex offender and report your movements to the authorities. Our criminal lawyers can work on your behalf and defend you against such charges in court. Often in sexual offence cases, your reputation is harmed the moment you are accused of the crime. You can rely on us to defend you throughout, thus giving you a fighting chance to clear your name.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why do I need a criminal defence lawyer when I am innocent of the charges levelled against me?
Even when you are not guilty, it is important that you are represented in the case by an
experienced and knowledgeable lawyer. While you can trust the integrity of the Canadian legal system with the presumption of innocence until proven guilty, the consequences of a conviction are too serious to be taken lightly. A criminal conviction will tarnish your reputation for life, sentence you to prison, and potentially deny you many opportunities in your professional and personal life as well. It is best to engage the services of an experienced criminal lawyer to establish your innocence conclusively in court.
Is it illegal to refuse to provide a breath sample for a Breathalyzer test?
Yes. It is indeed illegal to do so. You cannot avoid the impaired driving charges by simply
refusing to provide a breath sample for the Breathalyzer test. In fact, refusing to provide a sample is treated as a criminal offence, attracting the same penalties under law. The same applies to your refusal to provide a blood sample for a blood test to determine your blood alcohol level or the presence of drugs in your system.
Can I avoid a criminal record on impaired driving charges?
It is impossible to predict the outcome of any criminal charges. Everything depends on the nature of the offence and other factors, such as whether the defendant is a first-time offender. It might be possible in some cases for your lawyer to plea bargain with the Crown to get the charges reduced or dropped, thus allowing you to avoid a criminal record. But this might work only in the case of minor offences, without any prior instances of similar wrongdoings. However, if the offence is of a more serious nature, a criminal record and even a possible jail term in the case might be inevitable.
What if I cannot afford a lawyer to defend me in my criminal case?
If you cannot afford a criminal lawyer, the government will employ a lawyer to fight the case on your behalf. This legal aid ensures that the trial is fair and just. It is the responsibility of the provincial government to administer such legal aid programs to ensure that both sides in the case have proper legal representation. However, such legal aid programs are always funded by both federal and provincial governments.
What are some of the consequences of having a criminal record?
A criminal conviction leaves a permanent record, which can potentially affect different aspects of your professional and personal life. Here are a few common examples.
- Employment: Many employers might not hire you because of your criminal record.
- Restrictions on travel: Many countries restrict entry to anyone with a criminal
record. - Personal life: Your criminal past could be held against you, leading to suspicions and trust issues in personal relationships.
- Difficulty in applying for bank loans: Banks are not likely to sanction loans to anyone with a criminal record.
- Difficulty in obtaining housing: Many landlords are not likely to rent out their housing to anyone with a criminal record.
How does the Crown prove fraud in court?
To secure a conviction, the Crown must show that you knowingly misrepresented facts or concealed information, and that this dishonesty caused another person or organization to suffer a loss or risk of loss. Intent is a key element in every fraud case.
Will a DUI conviction in Ontario affect my ability to travel to the United States?
Yes. The United States treats a DUI as a criminal offence, and a conviction in Canada can make you inadmissible at the border. While some travellers may be allowed entry after a certain time has passed or by applying for a special waiver, many are denied entry outright. This makes it crucial to fight DUI charges early, as the consequences go beyond fines and licence suspensions—they can limit your freedom to travel and impact career opportunities that require cross-border mobility.
