"Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere" - Martin Luther King Jr.
We practice exclusively criminal defence. If you or a loved one is facing criminal charges, we are here to protect your rights.
From arrest to trial, we guide you through the criminal justice process, ensuring you understand every step. Our priority is your future. If you're in jail, we aim to secure your release. If you're out, we strive to keep you free, often resolving charges without a trial. However, we are prepared to go to trial to defend your rights.
Choosing the right defence team is crucial. We are experienced and committed to fighting vigorously for your Charter rights and justice.
We accept legal aid certificates.
