Practice areas
Impaired and criminal driving charges
Edgar Law defends people charged with impaired driving and other criminal driving offences throughout the GTA, including over 80 blood alcohol charges, refusal to comply with a demand, dangerous driving, failure to stop, flight and failure to remain. Part of the review is whether there were lawful grounds for the stop or detention and whether the client's constitutional rights were respected.
Bail hearings
Andrew Edgar appears at bail hearings and helps accused people and their families get ready for them. That can mean sizing up what might stand in the way of release, working with relatives or proposed sureties, and talking to the Crown where it makes sense.
Domestic charges
Edgar Law represents people facing domestic assault and related allegations, such as mischief, uttering threats and criminal harassment. Andrew Edgar helps clients make sense of their release conditions, the evidence against them and what comes next.
Drug offences
Drug files run from possession and possession for the purpose of trafficking through to trafficking, production and importing, for clients across the GTA. In a drug case, one of the things Andrew Edgar examines is how the evidence was found and whether the search was lawful.
Theft, fraud and property offences
Property charges handled include theft, fraud, break and enter, credit card offences and proceeds of crime. Where a case does need to go to trial, Andrew Edgar prepares the defence and argues it in court.
Assault and violent offences
Violent charges range from assault and assault with a weapon to robbery, sexual assault and homicide, in both the Ontario Court of Justice and the Superior Court of Justice. Andrew Edgar looks at whether video or surveillance footage might exist and whether it has to be preserved.
