Strategic Defence for Serious Allegations

A criminal charge can follow you for life. Even summary conviction offences can lead to a permanent record, fines, probation, or jail. If you've been charged under the Criminal Code of Canada, our firm delivers focused, results-driven defence — designed to protect your rights, your future, and your reputation.

We work discreetly and methodically, representing clients charged with eligible summary offences before the Ontario Court of Justice.

We defend clients facing a variety of summary conviction charges under the Criminal Code, including:

  • Theft under $5,000 – s. 334(b)

  • Mischief under $5,000 / to property – s. 430(4)

Our Approach

Legal representation starts with understanding — the charge, the facts, and your priorities. From there, we build a plan and act quickly to protect your interests in court.

  • We request and review disclosure, including police notes, witness statements, and supporting evidence.

  • We identify any procedural issues, Charter concerns, and defence options based on the facts and applicable law.

  • We attend early resolution meetings and pre-trial conferences, pursuing alternatives such as:

    • Diversion programs

    • Peace bonds under s. 810

    • Charge withdrawals or reduced pleas

  • If necessary, we represent you at trial on eligible summary matters, ensuring you're fully prepared every step of the way.
