FAQ's

When a family matter overlaps with a criminal charge (such as a domestic dispute), it’s important to have a lawyer who understands both areas, since developments in one case can directly affect the other. Glen A. Cook at Nanda & Associate Lawyers practices both family law and criminal law.

A criminal defence lawyer reviews the evidence, protects the accused’s procedural rights, and represents them at bail hearings, trial, or in negotiating a resolution with the Crown.

Criminal defence fees vary by case complexity and whether the matter proceeds to trial. Many lawyers offer a free or low-cost initial consultation to discuss the charge and estimate costs.

Timelines vary by court and case complexity, but criminal matters commonly take several months to over a year from charge to trial, particularly in busier jurisdictions.
