The implications of a criminal charge or conviction can include travel restrictions, loss of employment, a criminal record, no-contact orders with friends or family members, loss of a driver’s license, and of course the risk of incarceration or restrictive probation conditions. The severity of the repercussions necessitates retaining skilled and experienced legal counsel to assist in your defence.
Criminal defence lawyers can assist with anything from traffic safety violations to the most serious of criminal offences. Some matters are cleared up quickly and others need to proceed through to a trial in either Provincial Court or the Court of Queen’s Bench.
