We represent clients charged with different types of criminal offences including persons charged with domestic violence, assault causing bodily harm, robbery, fraud, sexual assault, driving violations, drug crimes, weapon offences, and individuals charged under the youth criminal justice act. If you’re facing any of these or other related criminal offences, Kahlon Law can protect you. Our years of experience in criminal law give us the skills required to defend you against any criminal charge. We represent clients by offering quality criminal defence services leading to the best possible results in every criminal case.

If the police contact you, remember that you have the right to remain silent as guaranteed by the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Even if the police say that they only want your help in an investigation, or to hear your side of the story, know that anything you say can be used as evidence against you. Therefore, if the police want to talk to you, contact a criminal defence lawyer for legal advice.

The duration of a criminal case depends on various factors such as the severity of the offence, and whether the matter is likely to resolve or goes to trial. After a careful review of your case, Hamilton criminal lawyers can provide a realistic estimate for the duration. With our experience in criminal court, we know how to navigate the legal system efficiently and use our experience to help get timely results.

Our criminal lawyer works on a flat fee basis and there are no surprises. We also offer payment plans that allow you to make payments over time so that you can access the representation you need. Contact our law office today to receive professional advice about your legal rights and the fees associated with our services.

Upon receiving a conviction, one may face the repercussion of acquiring a criminal record. Getting rid of a criminal record requires a waiting period as one can apply to get it set aside by the Parole Board through record suspension. This is only possible 5 years after a summary offence conviction and 10 years after an indictable offence conviction.

Note that in some cases, one cannot apply for a record suspension. For example, if you were convicted of sexually assaulting a child, you’re not eligible for a record suspension. The Parole Board can revoke your record suspension if you’re convicted of another crime or found to have lied during your application process. Speak to a criminal lawyer today.
