The lawyers of Bottos Law Group have experience practicing criminal defence throughout Alberta, including the city of Wetaskiwin. Although based in Edmonton, the firm regularly defends clients in the Wetaskiwin courts.

We can assist you at all stages of the proceedings, including:
- Advising you of your rights and obligations if you believe the police may charge you.
- Providing essential advice upon arrest for a criminal charge.
- Preparing and conducting bail hearings.
- Conducting preliminary inquiries, to determine if the Crown prosecution has enough evidence to put you on trial.
- Defending your case at trial, when the stakes are highest.
- Appealing the trial judge’s decision in certain circumstances where there is an unfavourable decision.

- Assault, including domestic assault and sexual assault.
- Impaired driving (also known as a DUI).
- Drug offences, including possession, possession for the purpose of trafficking, and trafficking in narcotics and other controlled substances.
