Criminal DefenCe

Our team of lawyers has a proven track record of success in the courtroom. The lawyers at our firm are experienced at every level of court, including the BC Provincial Court, BC Supreme Court, BC Court of Appeal, and the Supreme Court of Canada. Jury trials, appeals, and extradition proceedings are familiar to the team.

Our approach to each file begins with you. Every client’s needs are different, and every file is different. Each case begins with your counsel scrutinizing the contents of the police file, searching for the strengths and weaknesses of the Crown’s case, and considering the possible defences you might raise.

Our lawyers can frequently achieve positive results without the need for a trial. Sometimes, Crown Counsel can be persuaded not to proceed with charges, after our lawyers point to flaws in their case. Our lawyers will explore every avenue of defence to determine if a negotiated result is possible.

We are prepared and ready to go to trial for you. Our lawyers will prepare diligently with you to present the best possible case should your matter proceed to trial. Our lawyers have successfully achieved acquittals in a multitude of ways, including Charter applications, effective cross-examination, and by helping you prepare to take the stand yourself.
