Strategic Defence Against Theft and Fraud
Charges of theft and fraud often hinge on the critical element of "intent," and our legal team is adept at challenging the Crown’s ability to prove you acted with a fraudulent mind. We handle a wide range of cases, from theft under $5,000 and shoplifting to sophisticated fraud over $5,000 allegations involving insurance, credit cards, or alternate identities. By meticulously analyzing financial statements, surveillance footage, and witness testimony, we work to identify weaknesses in the Crown’s case and pursue a dismissal or reduction of charges whenever possible.
Navigating Complex Property Offences
Our experience extends to the full spectrum of property-based crimes defined under the Criminal Code, ensuring you have a comprehensive defence regardless of the specific allegation. This includes representing clients facing charges of possession of stolen property, break and enter, mischief, and robbery. We recognize that these cases often involve technical legal arguments regarding "colour of right" or the valuation of property, and we use our deep knowledge of statutory requirements to advocate for your rights. Whether at the negotiating table or in the courtroom, we provide the steady, informed guidance you need to move forward. Our team has successfully defended Property Offences dealing with over $200,000 of property in question.
