Just being charged with a crime can be life-changing. It’s just you against all the power of the government. If convicted, you may receive a criminal record or jail time, which can permanently change your personal and professional opportunities. For one of the most impactful events in your life, you need an experienced professional from the start.
People convicted of crimes usually receive criminal records. A criminal record can seriously restrict your liberty and forever change your life. It often affects your ability to travel, like to the United States.
It can affect your work opportunities. Employers may ask you about your criminal record and deny you a job. You may be fired, primarily if you work in a sensitive field like accounting, banking, childcare, medicine, or security.
If you are not a Canadian citizen, your citizenship application may be denied, or you may be deported to your country of origin and banned from entering Canada again. Your best chance of avoiding a criminal record and its consequences is finding strong and competent criminal defence lawyers you can trust.
