List of Services
-
AssaultList Item 1
When serious conflicts between two people arise, tempers flare and emotions escalate. It rarely happens that one person is solely responsible for an argument getting out of hand. Self-defence is one of the most common ways to defend an assault charge. The law permits individuals to use a reasonable amount of force to defend themselves from harm. You also have a right to protect your property...
-
Bail HearingsList Item 2
At a bail hearing, the court decides whether to keep the accused in custody or allow him freedom until the trial or plea hearing. If the court denies bail, the individual must remain incarcerated until the case is concluded – whenever that may be. Because the wait between arrest and trial can take months, being denied bail has serious consequences...
-
Domestic AssaultList Item 3
While all assault charges are serious, cases involving domestic assault or domestic violence are given particular attention and are vigorously prosecuted by Ontario authorities. Accusations of domestic abuse can result in removal of a defendant from the home and strict limitations on their behavior while charges are pending; a conviction can mean a permanent criminal record, fines, or even jail time...
-
FraudList Item 4
Fraud is a general term for criminal activity that involves obtaining money or other valuable property or services through fraudulent or otherwise dishonest methods. In Ontario, fraud cases may be pursued as either summary conviction offences or as indictable offences, depending on the value of the property or amount of money that was fraudulently obtained...
-
Impaired Driving
If you are facing an impaired driving prosecution, you stand to lose a lot more than money. Your life and your livelihood is on the line. An impaired driving conviction creates a criminal record that can have a serious impact on your future. In addition to fines, you could lose your license or certain driving privileges. An impaired driving record can also raise your insurance rates and prevent you from getting a job...
-
Search & Seizure
The protection against unreasonable searches and unlawful detention is one of the most fundamental rights under Canadian law. Section 8 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms prevents the government and its agents from holding citizens against their will or seizing personal property without a good reason...
-
Sexual Assault
All cases of assault can have severe consequences for those found guilty. But sexual assault, which is non-consensual touching of another person that is of a sexual nature or that violates the sexual integrity of the alleged victim, is treated with particular seriousness by both the law and Crown Prosecutors in Ontario. The Criminal Code of Canada establishes stiff penalties for those found guilty of sexual assault, including lengthy jail sentences, especially if the assault was committed with a weapon. In addition to prison time, registration on the Sexual Offender Registry is mandatory...
-
White Collar Crime
White collar crime is a general term that can encompass many types of criminal offences and fraudulent activities, such as Ponzi schemes, insider trading, accounting frauds, mass marketing fraud, real estate fraud, and other deceptive business practices that deprive another person of their money or property. White collar crime can have a devastating effect on its victims, and for this reason, such crimes are prosecuted aggressively by authorities.
-
Youth Offences
When a child is charged with a crime, it has a tremendous impact on the entire family. Parents must take time off work to meet with lawyers and attend court hearings. The child might experience a dip in grades as he worries about the consequences he faces in court. Although young offenders are charged with the same crimes as adults under the Criminal Code of Canada, the Crown prosecutes them under a separate justice system created by the Youth Criminal Justice Act...
