Frequently Asked Questions
Do I Need a Criminal Defence Lawyer? Can’t I Represent Myself?
It is best to hire a lawyer if you have been charged with a criminal lawsuit. Criminal law is complex, and experienced lawyers best handle such procedures. Representing yourself in a criminal case may save you a few bucks, but it will not be worth it if you can't get the desired outcome. A criminal lawyer will help you understand the potential issues and consequences and advise on the most viable options to help you avoid conviction and possible jail time.
What Is Disclosure? Why Do I Need a Criminal Lawyer to Handle It for Me?
Disclosure is the evidence the prosecutor relies on to prove the criminal charges against you. It usually consists of a record of arrest, police officer notes, synopsis of the allegations, witness statements, photos, videos etc. As per Canadian law, you have the constitutional right to defend any criminal or quasi-criminal charges made against you. The prosecutor must provide all the evidence it intends to use against you and other relevant information.
An experienced criminal lawyer can help examine the evidence and materials and ascertain if any important information is missing. In such cases, a lawyer can help submit a disclosure request and appear on your behalf to ensure the correct comments are put on record and attribute any delays to the prosecutor.
How Can a Criminal Record Affect Me?
A criminal record can affect you for the rest of your life. Some of its detrimental effects include:
-
Issues with employment and volunteer opportunities.
-
Problems with immigration and travelling outside of Canada
-
Restrictions with entering certain countries.
-
It can be used to discredit you in future court proceedings.
