Comprehensive Criminal Defence in British Columbia

My criminal defence services are truly comprehensive. I am available to counsel clients who are under investigation by law enforcement, working to prevent charges from being laid. If you were arrested, I can represent you at your bail hearing. If the police seized money or other items during an investigation, I will work to have the property returned if you have been subject to civil forfeiture proceedings.

I also handle matters with international implications, ranging from customs and border searches, arrests at the border and resulting criminal charges to extradition requests and mutual legal assistance.

As part of my practice, I now offer detailed counsel to individuals and groups who want to get into the legal marijuana industry in Canada and the United States. I can make sure you are in compliance with all laws and regulations as well as how to conduct business practices properly to avoid facing drug charges such as marijuana grow offences.

If You Have Already Been Convicted

A conviction is not necessarily the final word in all criminal cases. I help clients appeal convictions to the British Columbia Court of Appeal and even to the Supreme Court of Canada. I can also help you understand whether a pardon (now called a record suspension) is possible in your situation.
