Questions
What should I do immediately after being charged with a criminal offence?
Contact our office immediately for legal advice. Avoid discussing your case with others and preserve all evidence. We'll review your situation and develop a defence strategy.
How can I challenge an impaired driving charge in Guelph?
We examine breathalyzer procedures, police conduct, and Charter rights violations. Technical defences include challenging testing equipment calibration and procedural errors during arrest.
What happens at a bail hearing for domestic assault charges?
The court considers risk factors and evidence strength. We present arguments for reasonable release conditions while protecting your right to contact with children when applicable.
Can drug possession charges be reduced or dismissed?
Yes, through Charter challenges, evidence suppression, or negotiated resolutions. We examine police procedures and search warrant validity to build strong defence strategies.
How does mental health affect criminal charges?
Mental health factors can influence bail conditions, sentencing alternatives, and trial strategies. We work with medical professionals to ensure appropriate court consideration of mental health factors.
