White Collar Crimes
Many people who are arrested and charged with fraud and other white collar crimes have never been in trouble with the law before and are completely unfamiliar with the criminal justice process.

We will challenge the charges and seek to reduce or minimize the negative consequences for you and your family.
Robbery
When theft is carried out with violence or threats of violence, the resultant charge is robbery.
Extortion
Extortion, commonly referred to as blackmail, is a serious criminal offence under the Criminal Code. It can include a wide range of scenarios.
Theft
Theft and property crimes can carry a wide range of potential penalties and consequences for those who are convicted. Theft may be classified in two ways under the Criminal Code: theft that is over $5,000 or theft that is under $5,000. Theft that is under $5,000 most frequently involves shoplifting and other petty theft. Theft over $5,000 is often the result of corporate theft and employee theft.
Regardless of the level of offence, it is important to have the assistance of an experienced criminal lawyer.
