Act Early
Why Criminal Charges in Calgary Require Immediate Legal Representation
A criminal charge in Calgary is not a conviction — but the decisions made in the first 24 to 72 hours after a charge can determine whether a case ends in acquittal, withdrawal, or a permanent criminal record. The firm’s immediate priorities upon engagement:
Advising on Police Interactions
The firm advises immediately on how to handle police interactions, including the right to remain silent and the right to legal counsel before any statement is given.
Securing Release Through a Bail Hearing
Urgent bail applications and surety representation to secure release on reasonable conditions as quickly as possible after an arrest.
Requesting and Reviewing Crown Disclosure
A thorough review of the Crown's disclosure to understand the evidence, identify weaknesses, and build a defence strategy tailored to the facts of the case.
Identifying Charter Violations
Assessing every stage of the arrest and investigation for Charter of Rights and Freedoms violations that may lead to evidence being excluded at trial.
Immigration & Criminal Law Intersection
