Your Criminal Defense Roadmap

Our Typical Process

We typically follow a 5 step process for Theft & Property Related Offences, as outlined below.

Step 1

review the allegation

Immediately review the allegation and any release conditions, particularly those restricting access to specific locations, businesses, or property, and address overbroad terms that may affect your work or daily life.

Step 2

Request Disclosure & Evidence

Promptly request and obtain full disclosure from the Crown, including surveillance, witness statements, and any financial or documentary evidence.

Step 3

Review Disclosure & Defences

Review the evidence together to assess the strength of the Crown’s case, identify legal and factual defences, and determine the most strategic path forward.

Step 4

Meet With Prosecutor

Engage with the prosecutor to pursue an appropriate resolution or, where necessary, prepare the matter for trial.

Step 5

Trial or Resolution

Set timelines for resolution or trial and execute the defence strategy with a clear focus on protecting your record and future.

Our Criminal Defense Approach

How We Defend

No matter what you’re charged with, the way we defend your case always comes back to our core three principles: active listening, meticulous preparation, and relentless advocacy.

Understand the Allegation and Impact

We start by fully understanding your version of events and how the charge affects your work, finances, and personal life, ensuring the defence is built around what truly matters to you.

Scrutinize the Evidence & Investigation

We closely review disclosure, including witness accounts, surveillance footage, and police conduct, to identify gaps, inconsistencies, or Charter breaches that weaken the Crown’s case.

Build Leverage Through Preparation

We analyze whether the Crown can prove intent, identity, and value beyond a reasonable doubt, and use those weaknesses to pursue the strongest possible resolution or trial strategy.

Protecting Your Legal Rights

Early Representation Matters.

You don’t know what you don’t know. Having a lawyer from the jump will ensure you are fully informed of your rights and are prepared for any twists and turns that may arise throughout your matter.

Preserve Options and Rights

Early representation ensures release conditions, property restrictions, and disclosure requests are addressed promptly, protecting your ability to work, access property, and make informed decisions about your case.

Challenge the Evidence Early

Getting counsel involved quickly allows for timely review of surveillance, witness statements, and police conduct, and helps identify weaknesses or Charter issues before positions harden or mistakes are made.

Strategic Case Planning

Early advocacy puts you in the strongest position to seek diversion, restitution-based resolutions, charge reductions, or to build a focused defence if the matter proceeds to trial.
