"I cannot express how thankful I am to have Laura take my case . She didn't fly through legal words I wouldn't have known and explained everything as if I was talking to a friend. Even in the few minutes we had waiting for the judge she helped a young guy who didn't have a clue what to do and steered him into the right direction. Truly went well out of her way for me as well. You can tell by her personality she goes above and beyond and takes pride in her work your not just another client. Thank you advocate..."

I was a client of his and i can not explain how great full i am for what he has done for me. I could have ended up in a penitentiary for 5 to 10 year but this man is seriously so good at what he does i was given a second chance."

Frequently Asked Questions

I’ve been charged with a criminal offence. Now what?

If you haven’t secured legal representation, you should do so immediately. Advocate Law will help you review the paperwork provided by the police, educate you on the court process, and appear in court on your behalf.

It is also important to start planning what the legal process will look like for your case:

  • You are arrested
  • Bail Process
  • Released or Remanded
  • First Appearance
  • Disclosure
  • Crown Pre-Trial
  • Judge’s Pre-Trial
  • Trial
  • Verdict and Sentencing

    
If it seems overwhelming, take a breath. Advocate Lawyers will see you through the process.
 

Someone I know has been arrested and needs a lawyer. How can I help?

Your friend or relative will need a criminal lawyer as soon as possible to get the best chance at fighting their charge. Give them our phone number (1.833.403.3902) to contact us. We will review their case to create a defence strategy to help them achieve the best outcome in court.

How much are criminal lawyer fees?

At Advocate Law, we understand that facing criminal charges is stressful, and concerns about legal fees can add to that burden. We are committed to transparency and fairness in our fee structure. 

After reviewing your case, we provide a competitive quote that encompasses all associated fees as your matter proceeds to trial. This approach allows you to clearly understand the financial commitment involved from the outset.
 

Can a lawyer attend court for me?

Yes. If you hire a lawyer, we can attend court so you don’t have to, though some proceedings require the client to be present. In such cases, we’ll keep you in the loop.

What happens if I violate my release or bail conditions?

Release or bail conditions are rules you must follow after being released from police custody, such as curfews or no-contact orders. Violating these conditions can result in arrest, additional charges, and potentially stricter conditions or revocation of bail, which can lead to detention until your court date.

How do I choose the right criminal defence lawyer for my case?

When choosing a lawyer, ensure they have a proven track record handling cases similar to yours. Look at our client reviews and testimonials to see how we’ve helped people in your situation get their lives back. You can review our team of legal experts on our Lawyers page.
