As of 2021 we are able to handle every case remotely (via phone, Zoom, etc.). You do not need to travel to retain us and our clients generally do not need to attend court in person or even via the phone or Zoom. We are able to take cases and create domestic victim supporting affidavits throughout all of Ontario, Canada.

I have a previous criminal record, can my charges still be dropped?

Previous convictions, charges, 911 calls, or even warnings may make it more difficult for us to negotiate the dropping of the charges, however it is often still possible. Factors that are relevant include such things as the length of time between now and your previous conviction(s), the nature of the previous charges, the facts of the current charge, the background of the accused and more. If you are in this circumstance, simply give us a call for a free consultation regarding your case at 647-228-5969.

Will a lawyer or paralegal handle my case?

You will be represented only by a Practising Lawyer certified by the Law Society of Ontario, not a paralegal.

Having a lawyer represent you ensures you are represented with the highest level of legal expertise. You also gain the benefits of the privacy protections guaranteed by attorney/client privilege. To see more about our lawyer, click here.

What additional services do you offer your clients?

Our flat fee also includes:
  1. Applying to have your fingerprints, mug shot, and RCMP CPIC records destroyed in cases where we get the charges dropped or discharged;
  2. How to repress the release of police records relating to your arrest on specific employment and background checks;
  3. Ways to minimize problems travelling to the U.S. related to the charge information and record of arrest being stored in CPIC and other police databases;
  4. Information about potential immigration related issues: including work permits, PR, and citizenship applications;
  5. How to avoid and handle future questions from potential employers and law enforcement officials regarding the incident.

How long will this process take?

Most cases take a few months to resolve. Depending on whether there is an agreement to have the charges dropped or not, there are normally at least 2 - 3 court appearances required. Sometimes, we are able to attend court on your behalf allowing you not to miss work or school. Factors that can delay the process include the disclosure not being ready by the first court date, time required to complete counselling, victim impact statements, determining restitution amounts, and more.

Our goal is to have the charges dropped and the matter resolved as quickly as possible. We represent you and protect your interests throughout the entire process.

What types of mischief charges are the most difficult to have dropped (withdrawn)?

The most difficult cases are generally ones involving domestic disputes, public mischief, cases involving losses of over $2000, cases that include racially motivated damage or background facts, tagging cases of multiple graffiti tags, cases involving tagging of words/language considered offensive, and more. While these are all aggravating factors, they are often fixable problems (they just make the case more difficult).

What is your rate of success?

Not one of our clients in the last eight years ended up with a conviction or a criminal record. The most onerous sentence any of our clients received in the last eight years was a conditional discharge.

We know exactly what to expect and will tell you exactly how serious your case is over the phone.
