A sentence for a criminal offense normally means you will have a criminal record, whether the sentence itself is a fine, community work or imprisonment. This additional consequence can represent significant problems if your employer verifies its presence, as many professional orders do.

I can help you by explaining all the necessary legal concepts and by representing you accordingly at court. If you wish to challenge the accusation, I will present a solid defense at trial. If you would rather recognize you committed a theft, your defense will be oriented to obtain a sentence that is in proportion to the gravity of the offense and to minimize the possible consequences on your status in Canada and both your professional and personal lives.

I will provide you with a precise explanation of the legal ramifications of your situation and how to work towards the best possible outcome. It is essential to understand that the Criminal Code sets a minimal sentence, even for the first accusation of impaired driving, which prescribes a fine, a criminal record and a driving prohibition. Furthermore, I will take all necessary steps concerning the suspension of your driving license or the seizure of your vehicle by the SAAQ.

It is important to note that these accusations are linked to a specific act, the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act, which sets different parameters for sentencing depending on the nature of the substance. As for trafficking, the simple transfer of a substance from a person’s hand to another’s can suffice for an accusation.

Were you charged for not respecting conditions imposed by the court? A new court case will be filed and you will have to appear once again. Not respecting your conditions is a serious charge and the circumstances relating to your situation will be of the uttermost importance.

The term "assault" is used whenever the physical integrity of a person is compromised, whether it is a punch to the face, pushing and shoving or spitting. The counts will also vary depending on the action’s consequences. For instance, causing an injury might constitute an assault causing bodily harm, just as assaulting a police officer will bring specific charges.
