A criminal charge can change your life quickly. Even before a case is resolved, conditions and restrictions can affect where you can go, who you can speak with, and how you work and live day to day. If you’ve been charged — or believe you may be charged — it’s important to get legal advice early.
Gryba Gratton provides criminal defence representation across Saskatchewan and Western Canada. We handle matters ranging from straightforward charges resolved early to complex files that require careful litigation and trial work. Our focus is on clear communication, strong preparation, and practical strategy — so you can make informed decisions at every stage.
What we help with
Criminal defence files are rarely “one-size-fits-all.” The right approach depends on the facts, the law, and what’s at stake for you. We regularly assist with matters involving:
- Impaired driving, over .08, dangerous driving, and related driving offences
- Drug offences under the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act (possession, trafficking, and related allegations)
- Assault and other offences involving allegations of personal harm
- Domestic violence-related charges and no-contact conditions
- Sexual offence allegations
- Theft, break and enter, and property offences
- Weapons-related charges
- Manslaughter, murder, criminal negligence, and other serious charges
- Outstanding warrants, breaches, and failures to appear
- Youth Criminal Justice Act matters
- Applications and hearings, including more complex proceedings where experienced counsel is essential
What the process can look like
Some files resolve quickly, while others take time and may proceed through multiple court appearances, negotiations, and — when necessary — trial. We will explain the process in plain language, keep you informed about the next steps, and help you weigh the risks and options in front of you.
If you’re dealing with release conditions, a no-contact order, or a driving prohibition, we can also advise on what those orders mean and how they may be varied where appropriate.
When to contact a lawyer
If you’ve been arrested, released on conditions, served with documents, or contacted by police, it’s worth getting advice sooner rather than later. Early guidance can prevent avoidable mistakes and help protect your position from the start.
