Presumption of Innocence
In the eyes of the law, you are considered innocent until proven guilty. It is the prosecution's responsibility to prove your guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.
Right to Legal Representation
You have the right to legal representation, and choosing an experienced criminal lawyer is crucial to safeguarding your rights and building a strong defence.
Protection from Self-Incrimination
You have the right to remain silent and cannot be compelled to provide a statement. This means that you are not required to answer any questions or offer any information.
Trial Within Resoanble Time
The right to a trial within a reasonable time ensures that those charged with a criminal offence have their cases heard without undue delay. Our firm has successfully won cases based on unreasonable delay.
Searche & Seizure
The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms protects you from unreasonable searches and seizures by law enforcement. This safeguard upholds your right to privacy and limits the power of the state, emphasizing the importance of judicial oversight.
Detention
Police officers must have reasonable grounds for detaining a person. Detention becomes arbitrary when it lacks sufficient cause or justification, which breaches the individual's rights and legal safeguards.
