Criminal Defence Lawyer in Moose Jaw
Decades of experience as criminal lawyers ensure that we have all the skills you need to bring your case to its best possible outcome.
A private criminal lawyer can make a big difference to the outcome of your case. Even a small misdemeanor charge is a serious event that can have major repercussions for the rest of your life. That’s why we’re passionate about exploring every option for your defence.
OUR PRACTICE AREAS
We are a dedicated criminal law practice. We handle any misdemeanor or felony charge that you might be accused of. See our Practice Area page for more details on the specific kinds of cases we’ve managed in the past.
The crimes we handle include:
We handle cases both at the federal level and at the provincial level.
Practice AreasOur Process
Our process begins with a consultation and case review. In many cases this will happen after you’ve been arrested, though at times it can be wise to retain a lawyer before you are arrested. If you have any reason to believe that you are under investigation for a crime, you should contact our office as soon as possible. We can help.
We’ll stand with you at you first appearance 24 hours after your arrest. Most of the time you will be released with a series of conditions and an order to return to court for your trial date. We ensure that your rights are protected throughout the process.
In Saskatchewan you have the right to retain counsel without delay. You have the right to telephone any lawyer you wish. You also have the right to remain silent. We highly recommend refusing to answer any questions or talk about the circumstances of your arrest until you have a lawyer present with you to help guide you through the process.
After your first appearance we’ll begin digging into your case. We talk to potential witnesses, search for exculpatory evidence, and look for holes and weaknesses in the prosecution’s case. We’ll go through all of the Crown’s evidence against you.We’ll look for places where the police violated your due process. We’ll then help you develop a strategy.
We’ll be there for you at your pre-trial or resolution meeting. This will determine whether the case goes to trial at all. Often, we can use this meeting to help our clients avoid charges.
For some of our clients, plea negotiation will be the right call. Sometimes the Crown’s case is weak enough for us to get those charges dropped or dismissed. For non-violent misdemeanors, we may be able to help you secure a deferred prosecution agreement or remediation agreement. When your case is strong enough, we’re happy to take it all the way to trial so that we can pursue an acquittal on your behalf.
Innocence Isn’t Enough
It’s tempting to believe that your innocence alone will be enough to ensure that you go free. In reality, there are over 800 wrongful convictions here in Canada every year. You need a dedicated, experienced criminal defence lawyer to give yourself the best chance of minimizing the impact your arrest will have on your life.
