Every result here represents real strategy, relentless defence and a win earned through preparation, not chance.
Impaired operation
The client was arrested after his vehicle became stuck in a ditch during a severe snowstorm. Counsel brought a Charter application challenging the grounds for arrest, the restriction of his right to counsel of choice and the failure to provide dry clothing. Partway through cross-examination of the arresting officer, which exposed contradictions with the video evidence, the Crown withdrew all charges.
Impaired operation
The client was found asleep in a running vehicle and retained us after losing confidence in prior counsel. We contested care and control and established Charter breaches, and the court entered an acquittal.
Impaired operation
We documented Charter violations tied to the client's language barrier and the right to counsel. The impaired charge was withdrawn for a plea to careless driving under the Highway Traffic Act, with no criminal record.
Impaired operation
After a collision with a snowbank the client appeared impaired. Medical evidence showed the symptoms came from prescribed medication for a sickle cell crisis, not alcohol. All criminal charges were withdrawn for a careless driving plea.
Impaired operation by drug
Charged after driving into a ditch and allegedly admitting to cannabis use, the client was acquitted following a cross-examination that undermined the Crown's evidence of impairment.
Impaired operation, over 80
A review of the evidence surfaced Charter violations. The Crown withdrew the criminal charges for a plea to careless driving, preserving the client's licence and, because he held a student visa, his immigration status.
Assault ×4, threats, bodily harm
Facing six domestic-assault-related charges, the client's 11(b) Charter application cited more than 20 months of delay caused by late Crown disclosure. The Crown resolved the file with a peace bond and no criminal conviction.
Assault ×3
After a marital separation the client faced three assault counts. Cross-examination exposed multiple inconsistencies in the complainant's account and the court dismissed all three charges at trial.
Assault (choking) ×2, threats ×2
An 11(b) application citing unreasonable delay led the Crown to withdraw every charge on a one-year peace bond, with no conviction and no trial.
Assault with a weapon ×2, assault
Resolution discussions with the Crown produced a full withdrawal on a peace bond, sparing the client a criminal record and the cost and risk of a trial.
Sexual assault ×2, extortion
Over a five-day trial we exposed serious credibility problems and a motive to fabricate in the complainant's evidence. Despite an earlier false statement to police, the client's explanation was accepted and he was acquitted of every count.
Sexual assault, sexual interference
A third-party records application produced the complainant's counselling records, which contradicted her testimony. The court found the client credible and entered verdicts of not guilty on all charges.
Sexual assault, sexual interference
After a two-day trial the client was acquitted of all charges. Cross-examination revealed inconsistencies between the accounts given by the complainant and her mother.
Sexual assault, sexual interference
We filed an 11(b) application for unreasonable delay. The Crown withdrew all charges, avoiding a criminal record and a likely jail sentence.
Sexual assault ×2, assault
Retained after the client lost confidence in his former lawyer, we uncovered a motive that undermined the prosecution. All charges were withdrawn, avoiding a three-year sentence and the risk of deportation.
Sexual assault, sexual interference
A young client faced allegations dating back eight years. Our review of the complainant's statement identified significant reliability problems, which the Crown accepted, and every charge was withdrawn without a trial.
Possession for trafficking ×4
Fentanyl, cocaine and methamphetamine were seized from a hotel room linked to the client. At a three-day preliminary hearing we focused on knowledge and control, and every charge was dismissed, avoiding a four-year sentence.
Importing 112.5 kg of cocaine
The allegation involved 112.5 kg of cocaine and exposure to more than 12 years in prison. After securing bail, we argued at the preliminary hearing that there was no evidence of knowledge or control. All charges were dismissed.
Possession for trafficking ×3
Charged over 567 grams of fentanyl plus cocaine and fentanyl patches, the client faced more than ten years. We pressed the Crown on knowledge, and the file resolved as a plea to simple possession of 2.7 grams of cocaine with everything else withdrawn.
Firearm and drug possession
Drugs were found in a traffic stop and a firearm at the client's home under a warrant. Deficiencies in the warrant application led to the withdrawal of every firearm charge; the client pleaded to simple possession, the remaining drug counts were withdrawn and the seized money was returned.
Loaded handgun in a vehicle
A loaded handgun was found in the trunk during a traffic stop. We disputed possession, knowledge and awareness that the gun was loaded. After a two-day preliminary hearing the judge dismissed all charges for want of evidence.
Unauthorized firearm possession
Multiple firearms were seized under a search warrant. We focused on the lack of evidence of knowledge or control and on the delay in the case. All charges were withdrawn, avoiding a four-year sentence and deportation.
Conspiracy, loaded prohibited firearm
A year-long investigation ended with six arrests and 62 firearms seized; the Crown opened at 12 years. After a year of negotiation built on weaknesses in the evidence and delay, the client pleaded to one s. 95(1) count and received a conditional sentence of two years less a day. All other charges were withdrawn.
Attempted B&E, theft, fail to comply
On the trial date the Crown accepted the frailties in the identification evidence and withdrew every charge on completion of community service hours.
Fraud, forgery
A licensed mortgage agent faced eight serious charges over allegedly submitting fabricated financing documents. Because a conviction would have meant a permanent ban from the financial industry, our strategy focused on mitigating the damage. By negotiating a resolution based on partial compensation rather than the full alleged amount, we secured the withdrawal of all counts, leaving the client with no criminal record and their career prospects intact.
Fraud, laundering proceeds of crime
In a complex, multi-accused prosecution alleging large-scale fraud and money laundering, the client was facing a scheduled four-day trial. Through persistent resolution discussions with the Crown, we reached an agreement centred on a partial compensation payment. The trial dates were vacated and every charge was withdrawn, clearing the client's name.
Fraud, forged document
The client was accused of using a fabricated police report to obtain money from a national retailer. Because forging a police document significantly raises the stakes of a standard fraud charge, the Crown pursued the matter aggressively. We negotiated a compensation payment that resolved the case without a trial or a plea. Both charges were withdrawn, ensuring no criminal record would hinder the client's future employment or travel.
