Criminal law is complex. Have a defense lawyer review your case.

Criminal defense lawyers are here to help you!

Just because you've been charged with a crime doesn't mean you'll be convicted. Criminal law is complex, and you have a lot to lose if you don't take the right steps. That's why you need to talk to a criminal defense attorney now!

There are no "minor" crimes!

We understand that every criminal case involves a real person. Even a so-called "minor" criminal charge can create the most stressful, confusing and challenging times in your life.

You know that a criminal conviction can be devastating. It can follow you, and haunt you, for the rest of your life and affect you in more ways than you think. In addition to fines, probation and the possibility of jail, a criminal record can:

limit your ability to travel
affect your immigration status (deportation)
affect your current or prospective employment
prevent you from being bonded for a job
prevent you from getting a credit card

How can a criminal defense lawyer help you?

In certain circumstances criminal defense lawyers can help you avoid potential charges before they are laid. And if charges are laid, they can help you avoid a criminal conviction, lessen the severity of the charges you're facing and get you the best possible result. This may involve running a trial, negotiating with the prosecutor to have your charges dropped or reduced. If you decide to plead guilty, or are found guilty, they will make submissions to the judge on your behalf.

Choosing a skilled criminal attorney at the outset can make all the difference. Look for a lawyer with experience and knowledge of criminal law; one who routinely achieves the best results. You've come to the right place to find such a lawyer

Criminal law is complex and the best defense demands expertise.

There are few things in life you can't do yourself. Criminal law is definitely one of those things. If you've been charged with a crime (any crime), you are the target of some very powerful forces focused on convicting you. The police and prosecutors have tremendous resources and they will use them to the fullest extent to prove your guilt.

Some common situations and charges that criminal defense lawyers deal with:

Police investigations: Do not wait until you are under arrest to contact a lawyer. If you are suspected of committing a crime or you're the subject of a police investigation or the police have contacted you, call a criminal defense lawyer to find out what to do next.

Bail hearings: If you've been arrested, don't go it alone. Without a lawyer to represent you at your bail hearing, you reduce your chances of a positive outcome. If you are detained, your ability to successfully deal with your charges is reduced.

Crimes of violence: You should get help from a criminal defense lawyer if you are charged with any violent crime, from assault to murder. The consequences of conviction are too great to go it alone. Assault charges included domestic violence and historical sexual assaults.

Domestic assault: This is a crime of violence between parties who have a domestic relationship of some kind. What was once considered a private matter between the parties is now treated harshly by the criminal justice system. And once a charge is laid, that "family issue" is out of your control.

Drinking and driving (DUI): Just because they say you were driving while impaired doesn't make it true. This is one of the most common criminal charges, with some of the most severe penalties.

Drug charges: Includes possession, cultivation (grow ops), trafficking and importing prohibited substances.

Sexual offences: Includes sexual assault, prostitution or engaging a prostitute, and possession or distribution of child pornography.

Weapons offences: Carrying or using a weapon can be a criminal offence in itself or can enhance the seriousness of other charges.

Financial offences: Includes fraud, theft, identity theft and credit card skimming.

Property offences: Includes theft, robbery, burglary and home invasion.
