Ontario Criminal Defence Lawyer • International Extradition Defence Law Firm
Are you facing extradition to another province as a result of an alleged connection to a drug, DUI, property or other crime? Prosecutors often try to charge and convict multiple defendants in a single national case. That can mean attempting to stretch legal limits in matters relating to extradition of accused persons, search warrants and laying charges to include firearms offences.
You Have Rights--I'll Protect Them
If you have been charged with a criminal offence, you have the right to have your case move through the court system as quickly as possible in the jurisdiction in which you are accused. That means fighting to prevent extradition to another community or province in which you may be unfairly subject to association with other individuals charged. Talk to me right away about aggressively working to ensure that your charges are handled in the jurisdiction that offers the highest protection of your rights.
Search Warrants
Police are required to execute search warrants under highly restrictive rules. Unfortunately, too many police are tempted to sidestep the law, gather the evidence illegally and turn it over to the prosecutor, expecting nobody to notice the violation of rights. The first strategy of every successful criminal defence is to ensure that search warrants to gather evidence were executed according to the law. If your case involves questionable search and seizure of evidence, call me right away. Often, suppressing illegal evidence is the first step toward having your charges dismissed or reduced.
Firearms Charges
Prosecutors frequently look for every possible charge to file when pursing an indictable offence case. For drug crimes, that often means adding firearms charges, even when there is no credible evidence that a gun was used in the commission of the crime. A firearms charge can add years to a possible prison sentence. You need to fight aggressively to ensure that charges have not been trumped up in violation of your rights. Talk to me right away.
