Clear, practical representation for parents, caregivers, and youth navigating child protection proceedings and Ministry involvement.

Who we represent

Depending on the file and the circumstances, we may assist:

• Parents and caregivers responding to a child protection proceeding
• Children and youth who require independent legal representation
• Clients involved in placement, access, and related child protection issues
• Individuals who do not qualify for Legal Aid and need private counsel
• Clients appointed counsel through court or through referral/appointment processes where applicable

Legal Aid assists many parents in this area. Where Legal Aid is not available, families are often left trying to navigate a complex system on their own. We can assist as private counsel or in other appointed capacities where appropriate.

Strategic, steady defence for individuals facing criminal charges — focused on protecting your rights, reputation, and future.

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
