Bails

A bail hearing can be a complex proceeding. It should be done cautiously and professionally. It is also important to consider that you could be on a bail for a long time. Strict bail conditions can also last a long time, especially if you are waiting for trial. If the charges are serious and you need to be on a surety bail, we will always make sure that your conditions can be as least restrictive as possible so that you can live your life. Remember, you are innocent until proven guilty.

Importing

In most cases, people who are charged with importing have never been in trouble with the law before. The charge may come as a shock to a person traveling back to Canada. The charge is a serious one and requires a lawyer with special knowledge of this area of the law as there are certain defences that are unique to this charge. Many times there are human rights challenges, known as Charter challenges, that apply in these cases as well. Call us for your free consultation.

Youth

Being a young adult can be difficult, stressful and confusing. The law recognizes this which is why youth charges are NOT like adult charges. For anyone under the age of 18, the governing legislation is the YCJA (Youth Criminal Justice Act). There are many useful tools to a defence lawyer tasked with youth charges that are not available to adults criminal charges. If you are a young person or have a child or youthful family member charged with a criminal offence, you are in great hands with Nadia as your lawyer as her practice centres on youth charges and she has a proven track record of incredible success in youth court. For youth charges, Nadia creates defences that are unique to each young person that she makes sure are rewarding and useful to them. She also spends time really getting to know the young person to help them and their families work through their challenges.

Drug Offences

Drug charges can vary greatly depending on the drug and the quantity.
