Being charged with a criminal offence can be overwhelming. The criminal justice system is highly complex and trying to navigate it alone is not only intimidating, but also potentially harmful to your interests. Our system forces an individual accused to defend himself against a Crown prosecutor with all the resources of the state at their disposal. The importance of obtaining effective legal representation in a timely fashion cannot be underestimated.
You need a highly skilled and experienced criminal defence lawyer to defend your interests and fight for your rights. If you have been convicted of a criminal offence, it may be possible to set aside the conviction and/or reduce the sentence by appealing to a higher court. The criminal appeal process is extremely difficult, complex, and lengthy. To maximize the likelihood of winning your appeal, choose a lawyer who specializes in criminal appeals and can present your case thoroughly, persuasively, and in a timely manner.
