If you have been charged with a criminal or quasi criminal offence (such as tax evasion, drunk driving, over 80, drug possession, domestic assault, or professional discipline) you face a system designed to find you guilty. The consequences of a conviction for these and other offences can have a profound effect on you or your family’s future.

As a certified specialist in criminal law, I am familiar with all aspects of the criminal justice system and can help you in obtaining the best possible outcome in your matter. Before you decide to represent yourself, you should know that there are two common outcomes for people who try handling criminal matters themselves. At best, they get nowhere. At the other extreme, they may make things worse by unwittingly revealing information that compromises their defence.
