Criminal Law
The consequences of being charged with a criminal offence can be devastating. A criminal conviction can ruin a reputation built over a lifetime, jeopardize future employment opportunities, compromise security clearances, limit your ability to travel abroad, and in the case of driving offences, result in your licence being taken away immediately.
Given these consequences, it is critically important that you choose a lawyer who will work to minimize the impact that criminal charges will have on your life.
