- Advising you of your rights and obligations if you think you’re a suspect in a police investigation.
- Providing critical guidance when you’re arrested for a criminal charge.
- Preparing and conducting a bail hearing as soon as possible.
- Conducting preliminary inquiries on your behalf to determine whether the Crown prosecutor has sufficient evidence to bring you to trial.
- Defending your case throughout the trial.

- Assault (all types)
- Impaired driving (whether by drugs or alcohol)
- Drug-related offences, including simple possession, possession for the purpose of trafficking, and trafficking in narcotics and other controlled substances
