Services
DUI Defence
Our DUI defence specialists challenge breathalyzer evidence and police procedures to protect driving privileges. We handle Over 80 charges, refusal cases, and impaired driving allegations across British Columbia. With deep understanding of provincial roadside prohibitions and mandatory minimum sentencing, we develop tailored strategies to minimize penalties or secure charge dismissals through evidence exclusion or negotiated settlements.
Sex Crimes
We defend clients facing sexual assault and related charges with strict confidentiality. Our approach challenges evidence admissibility, questions witness credibility, and examines consent issues while protecting clients' futures. We navigate complex registration requirements under the Sexual Offender Information Registration Act to minimize long-term consequences through strategic legal representation in provincial and Supreme Court proceedings.
Assault Charges
Our team handles all assault classifications from simple to aggravated charges. We investigate self-defence claims, challenge identification evidence, and examine police conduct to build strong defences. With experience in weapon-related assaults and domestic violence cases, we negotiate reduced charges or secure acquittals through thorough examination of prosecution evidence and witness testimony.
Drug Offences
We defend possession, trafficking, and production charges under Canada's Controlled Drugs and Substances Act. Our strategies challenge search warrant validity, question evidence handling, and negotiate alternative sentencing. We help clients avoid criminal records through charge reduction to non-criminal offences and secure community service alternatives to incarceration for first-time and repeat offenders.
Driving Prohibitions
We contest administrative driving prohibitions and demerit point accumulations that threaten employment and mobility. Our representation includes challenging Notice of Prohibition letters, negotiating extended payment plans, and preventing license suspensions through court appearances and evidence submission for traffic violations and high-risk driving offences.
