OUR EXPERTISE

In our work, there is no room for mistakes. It’s under that kind of pressure that we do our best work.

Criminal Trials

We are trial lawyers.

In a criminal trial, there is no room for mistakes. It’s under that kind of pressure that we do our best work. Judge or jury. Murder trial or impaired driving charge. Cracking open a tough witness or advancing a complicated legal argument. The courtroom is our comfort zone. We believe there are no impossible cases.

Discrete Lawyering

Keeping a lid on criminal charges.

You need to have a touch of showmanship in your blood to love jury litigation, and we’re always pleased to have a big win splashed across the newspapers. But a big part of the work we do is out-of-court lawyering—negotiating, cajoling, convincing. Turning big cases into little ones, and making little ones go away entirely. You won’t see these cases in the newspaper. Now, we like being in the news, but we find that many of our clients prefer to get a great result and skip the media attention. We’re happy to oblige.

Appeals

It ain’t over till it’s over.

The worst words a criminal defendant can hear from a judge or jury: guilty as charged. We have brought countless clients back from that abyss. Clients convicted of all kinds of offences have put their faith in us to deliver the just result they were denied at trial. Few firms have the experience, and/or have had the success, that we have had in the Court of Appeal and the Supreme Court of Canada. Know more

LATEST

NEWS & ARTICLES

There is more to a criminal case than what happens in court. We know your privacy is important. Sometimes clients want to talk to the media and sometimes they don’t. You can’t always control what others say about you. But we can help you fly under the radar and when we can’t we will make sure that any media coverage helps your case instead of hurting it.
