What does a criminal defence lawyer do?

A criminal defence lawyer represents people charged under the Criminal Code and related statutes, from impaired driving and assault to fraud and drug offences. They'll protect your rights at every stage, from the first bail hearing through to trial or resolution.

The Criminal Code is federal law, so the offences are the same across the country, but charges are prosecuted in each province's own courts.

How do you choose the right firm in St. Catharines?

Ask about experience with your specific charge, how well the lawyer knows the local courthouse and Crown, and whether they've taken similar matters to trial. Early advice matters, especially around bail and disclosure.
