Services
Bail Hearings
We provide urgent legal representation for bail applications under Canada's Charter of Rights. Our team challenges unreasonable conditions and ensures compliance with release obligations. With 24/7 availability, we secure timely hearings before Justices of the Peace or Provincial Court Judges, focusing on evidence admissibility and client risk assessment to maximize release chances.
Drug Charges
Our defense strategy targets Charter violations during evidence collection. We challenge unlawful searches, lab analysis flaws, and possession definitions. Cases range from simple possession to production charges, with emphasis on excluding tainted evidence and negotiating reduced penalties for first-time offenders through diversion programs.
Impaired Driving
We contest breathalyzer accuracy, procedural compliance, and roadside assessment validity. Our approach includes challenging blood sample handling and Charter breaches during arrests. We also assist with Alberta Transportation appeals to maintain driving privileges during case resolution for clients facing 90-day suspensions.
Sexual Assault
Our defense focuses on consent verification, evidence chain integrity, and witness credibility assessments. We protect client reputations through strategic pre-charge negotiations and trial preparation, addressing digital evidence challenges and ensuring fair treatment during police investigations and court proceedings.
Murder & Manslaughter
We handle complex homicide cases requiring forensic experts and witness testimony analysis. Our approach includes challenging prosecution evidence, establishing reasonable doubt, and presenting mitigating circumstances. We represent clients in both trial and appellate courts, leveraging experience with Alberta's most severe criminal charges.
