Protect your rights and freedom with an experienced criminal defence lawyer

Regardless of the crime or the weight of evidence against you, everyone has a right to a defence in a criminal case. You are innocent until proven guilty in Canada. A robust defence is often the difference between a possible prison sentence with a lifelong criminal record — and case dismissal or acquittal. The outcome will be determined partly by the skills and experience of your criminal defence lawyer.

We believe that a high-quality, tenacious defence of your rights should not be the privilege of the few. Nobody budgets for high legal fees, and a strong defence should be available to everyone charged with a crime. We follow this philosophy for every case, preparing the strongest defence possible based upon your unique circumstances coupled with our extensive experience within the Ottawa legal system.
