Our criminal defense practice handles all levels of charges from initial investigations to Supreme Court appeals. We specialize in drug offenses, firearms violations, and violent crime defense. With decades of courtroom experience, we challenge evidence admissibility, police procedures, and prosecution narratives to protect client freedoms. Our approach combines aggressive litigation with strategic plea negotiations when appropriate.
Family Law
We represent clients in divorce proceedings, custody disputes, and domestic violence allegations. Our attorneys balance compassionate counsel with firm advocacy to protect parental rights and financial interests. We handle complex property divisions and spousal support negotiations while prioritizing children's best interests. Our experience includes high-conflict custody cases and emergency protection orders.
Drug Offenses
Our drug offense defense covers possession, trafficking, and production charges for substances ranging from marijuana to fentanyl. We challenge search and seizure procedures, lab analysis validity, and quantity determinations. Our strategy considers addiction treatment options while fighting for charge dismissals or reduced sentencing through evidentiary challenges and procedural violations.

We defend against firearm possession, licensing, and use charges including prohibited weapons and replica firearm allegations. Our expertise covers Canadian Firearms Program compliance issues and restoration of firearms rights post-conviction. We challenge technical violations while addressing legitimate safety concerns through alternative sentencing proposals.
