Criminal Lawyer: Law Services for DUI, Assault, Theft, Fraud Criminal Defense
A criminal offence is a behavior prohibited by law and punishable by sanctions because it harms public order and social life. There are several types of offences, including indictable offences, summary convictions, and those created by specific regulations or laws.
In Canada, ignorance of the law is never an excuse to avoid criminal liability. Anyone accused of an offence must answer for their actions before the justice system, whether under federal, provincial, or municipal laws.
Facing Criminal Charges? You Have the Right to a Strong Defense
Our judicial system is based on the presumption of innocence: a person accused of a crime is considered innocent until proven guilty. A judge may only declare someone guilty if they plead guilty or if the evidence presented at trial proves guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.
Being accused of a crime can be overwhelming and life-altering. That’s why our experienced criminal lawyers are here to defend your rights from the very first moment.

The Hidden Consequences of a Criminal Record
A criminal conviction can affect far more than just your freedom. We work not only to fight the charges but to protect your long-term future.
Employment Risks
Many employers conduct background checks before hiring, especially in government, finance, and healthcare sectors.
Professional Licensing Barriers
Certain professional orders require disclosure of criminal records, which may jeopardize your career. Membership in a regulated profession may be denied or revoked due to a criminal history.
Obtaining insurance
Insurance companies may deny applications or increase premiums due to a criminal record.
Travel Restrictions
Entry into the United States may be denied to anyone with a criminal record, even for a layover. A waiver may be requested, but the process is lengthy and expensive.
Housing access
Although no Quebec law regulates this practice, some landlords may refuse to rent to individuals with a criminal record.
