Contact my office and schedule an appointment. I will provide you with immediate answers to the myraid of questions that you have as a result of your arrest.

There are many adverse reprecussions that arise from being found guilty by a criminal court even if you do not end with a jail sentence. Having a criminal record may prevent you from obtaining certain jobs that require criminal background checks. Many landlords today ask for a criminal record background check before agreeing to rent their premises to you. Depending on the nature of the charges and your conviction, you may find it difficult to travel across international borders, especially to the United States.

A paralegal is not qualified to provide you with the legal advice you need in a criminal matter. Would you hire a nurse to perform open heart surgery on yourself or a loved one?

The police do not have your best interests in mind! They charged you with a criminal offence. Of course they prefer that you simply assist them in unclogging the legal system by cooperating with them and the crown and resolving the matter quickly. By doing so, you risk getting a raw deal and perhaps adversely affecting your future in ways that cannot be predicted but preventable if you spoke with an experienced lawyer. Duty counsel is very helpful with certain matters. Most duty counsel however, lack the experience necessary or the time to deal with your matter properly.

I offer a very flexible payment plan to my clients each according to his or her own needs. I accept payment by cheque, money order, visa, mastercard, and bank draft. Although I discourage my clients from paying in cash, I will accept cash payments in certain circumstances.

I offer my clients the choice of retaining me in one of two ways. The traditional manner involves paying an hourly fee. Your cost will depend on the number of hours spent on your file. With this type of fee structure it is difficult to forecast how much defending your case will cost as we can never determine with certainty ahead of time how many hours your file will require. The more cost effective way most clients tend to prefer is what I call a block fee. The block fee is discussed at the time of our initial discussions where I set a block of fees required to take you to a predetermined point in your proceedings. This allows you the opportunity to budget your expenses as you will know early on how much defending your case will cost.
