- DUI / Over .08: There are lots of potential defences to DUI cases. Getting an experienced DUI lawyer in Moose Jaw is the best thing you can do if charged. There are a number of evidentiary factors that may be raised in addition to Charter arguments. There may be arguments about the triangulation of the breathalyzer machine and its maintenance. There may be alcohol consumption timing defences possible such as the “last drink defence”, i.e. the time you were driving the car and stopped by the police, versus when they took the sample, against when the alcohol was consumed so that you may have not been over .08 at the time you were stopped. This requires the evidence of an expert toxicologist. Give us a call to look into what might be possible on your facts. There may be valid Charter arguments that may be raised as well. We might be able to get a lesser charge instead or even win the case at trial, but the best Moose Jaw DUI lawyers always need to review the facts of the case first before any lawyer can properly advise. These are just examples.
- Drug trafficking: A typical case of drug trafficking which we frequently encounter may involve our client being found with cocaine and other drugs during a search warrant at his or her home. Client is then charged with possession of various drugs like cocaine, meth, and other drugs. Often the charges include possession for the purpose of trafficking and distribution as well. Our defence lawyers will be happy to assist you and will take up the case for you and fight against the case on your behalf.
- Assault with a weapon: A hypothetical scenario might be where there is a bit of drama following a car accident. After the accident had occurred two people out of which a single person pepper sprayed the client and accused her of the accident. Retaliation might ensue. Others can become involved. Available weapons may be resorted to. But this can be arguably self-defence also. Another example can be use of a bottle, or broken bottle in self defence. It can sometimes seem that the one charged is the aggressor. But it has been argued with success that one may resort to weapons at hand when being attacked, in self defence, particularly when one is outnumbered, etc. Our experienced lawyers have helped the real victims to win the case with the help of the proper evidence being prepared and entered at trial, including witnesses for the defence.
- Assult causing bodily harm: Let’s say a client were charged with the accusation of punching and knocking another to the ground which then resulted in head damage. Again, were we this client’s defence lawyers, it may be possible to raise a number of issues legally like self-defence. The crown prosecutor may or may not accept any of these arguments (and indeed it is almost always a tactical error to try to negotiate with the prosecution as it only tips them off as to what they need to counter at trial) and so the evidence would need to be decided at Trial before a Judge of the Court. There may be Charter argument that our client was denied his right to a fair process. Despite the prosecution’s allegations, we may be able to make our client leave the case successfully, one way or another, without a conviction. Sometimes we can negotiate a lesser charge or “plead out”.
- Smuggling: A major drug smuggling case occurred in Saskatchewan several years ago where Tony Merchant QC and a team of lawyers were successful in defeating all the charges. If you have had a drug smuggling or other serious charge slapped in your face we may be able to clear your name of all the charges too. Our goal is always to get our clients out of the criminal cases they face to the best of our abilities and according to the fullest extent of the law.
