As experienced criminal defence lawyers, it is our job to thoroughly examine your case to determine how to develop the strongest defence. We will scrutinize the evidence of your arrest and/or detention, and determine whether your rights under the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms were violated.
A Vigorous Defence Against Drug Charges
The simplest and most common drug charge is possession of a controlled substance. In order to secure a conviction, the prosecution must prove that the suspected substance is actually controlled pursuant to the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act and that you possessed the requisite knowledge and control over the substance.
As your defence lawyer, it is our job to protect your interests and work to get the charges removed or minimized.
