Criminal Defence

Operating Under the Influence (DUI/DWI), Operating After Suspension (OAS), Major Driving Offences, Immigration Offences, Mail or Wire Fraud, Firearms, Narcotics, Drug Trafficking, Assault, Restraining Orders (Protections from Abuse or Harassment) and Representation of Minors.

My first job out of law school was in a Crown Attorney’s office prosecuting cases in one of the busiest courts in the region. Most of my cases involved drug possession and trafficking, DUIs, domestic violence, and major traffic offences. I tried over thirty cases in that relatively short span of time. It was a great job and I learned a lot about trying cases and how juries think.

In the dozen or so years since serving with the Crown Attorney’s office, I have maintained an active criminal defence practice.  My experiences have varied greatly defending professional and “white collar” defendants as an associate at a large law firm and then serving as court-appointed counsel for indigent defendants as a solo and small firm lawyer. I handle:

  • Operating Under the Influence (DUI)
  • Major Traffic Offenses (Operating After Suspension, Criminal Speeding)
  • Possession or Sale of Narcotics or other Controlled Substances
  • Mail, Wire, or Internet Fraud
  • Weapons or Firearms Offenses
  • Theft/Burglary, Shoplifting, or Embezzlement
  • Assault and Battery
  • Corporate or other “white collar” crimes (health care or Medicare fraud, prescription violations, insurance fraud, telemarketing fraud, etc)

I have been asked to represent a growing number of juvenile defendants in the last two or three years. Obviously, these cases present very unique challenges — for the kids, their parents, the Court, and the State.  I am pleased to offer these services. Please contact me to discuss your child’s case.
