Criminal Defense Lawyer
Being charged with a criminal offence can have a dramatic impact on your life. Getting arrested, handcuffed and questioned by police can be quite traumatic. Unfortunately, the experience does not get any easier once you are required to defend yourself against the charges in court.
You are presumed innocent until proven guilty at trial. However, it can take months or years until a trial is completed. During that time, you will have to deal with a sophisticated system designed to overwhelm the average person. There will be crown attorneys, justice of the peace’s and judges who are all part of a system designed to allow you the opportunity to defend yourself, without explaining how.
This is why having an experienced defence attorney on your side is an invaluable asset. The criminal process can be long and drawn out. There are many stages of proceedings, each getting more complicated after the next. There are bail hearings, set dates, crown pretrials, judicial pretrials, preliminary inquiries, pretrial motions and the eventual trial.
