Your lawyer understands the legalities of your offence, including what the prosecution must prove and how to challenge their case effectively. They identify evidence that should be excluded, negotiate with the Crown Attorney, conduct a pre-trial hearing, and present your defence.
- A lawyer protects you from a criminal record, being wrongly accused or making sure that if there is a conviction you don’t go to jail or otherwise.
What Should I Look for in Windsor Criminal Law Firms?
- When choosing a Windsor criminal lawyer, reviews and client testimonials are invaluable.
- Look for what others have said about their experiences, as positive reviews reflects the firm’s reliability and success in similar cases. Additionally, consider the lawyer’s standing in the legal community. Nicholas Charitsis as a barrister, as opposed to a general lawyer, and holds a distinguished reputation and expertise in courtroom advocacy.
- Under the Barristers Act, barristers are afforded greater weight in their motions and arguments, reinforcing their authority in legal proceedings. Their advanced knowledge and standing with peers and the crown attorney’s office can make a significant difference in the outcome of your case.
- Selecting a law firm with highly regarded barristers ensures you receive professional, capable, and impactful representation.
What Should I Do if I’ve Been Charged with a Crime?
- If you’ve been charged with a crime in Windsor, contacting a criminal lawyer should be your first priority.
- Even the police likely advised you to speak to a lawyer when you were arrested, as proper legal counsel is critical to protecting your rights and defending yourself.
- We advise that you should speak to a lawyer as soon as possible, and well before the first court date, as timing and what happens at non-trial dates can have an affect on outcomes.
- Write out your version of events as soon as possible while the details are fresh in your mind—this can be invaluable for your lawyer when building your case, and just so you know its mandatory for the police to do this before the end of their shift.
- If the charge involves alcohol or drug use, consider enrolling in a treatment program or seeking counselling, as this demonstrates proactive steps toward rehabilitation. Similarly, if anger management is relevant to your situation such as domestic assault charges, starting a program may help mitigate the consequences of your charge.
- If you were released after a bail hearing, it’s essential to strictly abide by the conditions set by the Windsor courts. Failing to comply can result in serious consequences, including being taken back into custody.
- Be careful about what you say and who you talk to regarding the charge. This includes in-person conversations and online activity, such as social media posts, which can be used as evidence against you. Taking these measures and acting quickly not only improves your chances of a positive outcome but also shows the court that you are taking the situation seriously and responsibly.
