Being accused of a criminal offence can leave you unsure about what to say, where to appear, and how the charge may affect the rest of your life. Clear legal advice is especially important at the beginning, when police contact, release terms, and early court dates can create immediate pressure.
Pazuki Law represents people in Markham who are under investigation or facing charges under the Criminal Code and other federal legislation. We provide advice at the investigative stage and representation in bail proceedings, Crown discussions, pre-trials, applications, trials, and sentencing hearings.
Every prosecution must be assessed on its own evidence. Our task is to identify what the Crown can prove, examine how the evidence was obtained, and give clients a realistic explanation of the available paths forward.
If you’ve been charged with a criminal offence in Markham, Pazuki Law can help. We represent clients facing many different types of charges, including:
Drug Investigations
Fraud and Financial Offences
Theft, Fraud, and Property Allegations
Assault and Intimate-Partner Allegations
Bail, Breach, and Failure-to-Comply Charges
Impaired Driving and Criminal Driving Offences
A request to attend a police station, provide a statement, or answer a few questions should be taken seriously, even if no charge has been laid. The purpose of the contact may not be clear, and an apparently informal conversation can become evidence. Before agreeing to an interview or giving an account, speak with a criminal defence lawyer about your position.
If you are arrested or detained, section 10(b) of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms protects your right to retain and instruct counsel without delay and to be informed of that right. You also have a right to silence.
