Our Criminal Law Services in Kingston
Our experience is very diverse, so we can offer services across a range of criminal matters. Below are just some of the areas of the law we defend in Kingston.
Assault and Threat of Assault
Assault charges in Canada involved the application of force to another individual without their consent or the threat of such force where the accused could actually carry out the threat. This definition means that the assault umbrella includes many different charges.
Assault charges you may face in Kingston include simple assault, threat of assault, aggravated assault, domestic assault, and sexual assault. We have experience in all kinds of assault charges, and we can defend your case successfully.
Driving Offences
Driving offences can include driving under the influence (DUI), dangerous driving, and impaired driving. Each charge differs depending on the blood alcohol level of the accused, whether an accident happened, and if the driver has any prior convictions. The consequences are also different for each driving offence, but you will almost always lose your license for at least a short period.
What The Law can limit the disruptions to your life by defending your case and ensuring any outcomes are fair.
Firearms and Weapons Offences
Weapons offences are incredibly complex, and you will need a criminal defence lawyer with expertise in the area to defend your case. At What The Law, we've covered a variety of weapons offences, including unauthorized possession and weapons trafficking, so we have the knowledge and expertise to defend you, too.
Fraud
Fraud involves the intentional deception or misrepresentation by an individual for financial gain or to cause loss to another party. The prosecution will need to prove a number of factors, including that there was intent to deceive and that the deceit resulted in harm.
Our vast experience in the area of fraud means that we can defend your case successfully and help you avoid severe consequences.
Theft
Theft is split into two charges, which are theft under $5,000.00 and theft over $5,000.00. While the lesser charge might mean less serious consequences, it is still likely you'll have a criminal record for life. A criminal record for theft can have detrimental impacts on your life, making it harder for you to get a job, find a home, and more.
What The Law can defend your theft charge and ensure you don't face these lifelong consequences.
Robbery
Robbery is a serious crime involving the threat of violence against a person in order to steal their property. In some cases, robbery includes the use of a weapon. It is a serious criminal matter, and the consequences of conviction can be lifelong.
It is likely that upon conviction, you will spend time in prison, among other penalties, and their severity will depend on everything from the violence used, the property stolen, and the criminal history of the accused.
What The Law has worked on numerous robbery cases over the years with success, so we can provide a robust defence and ensure any consequences you face are just.
Murder and Manslaughter
Murder and manslaughter are both serious charges that differ in the intent of the accused. Facing this kind of criminal charge in Kingston is incredibly overwhelming and stressful. At What The Law, we understand this and are ready to support you through the whole legal process. We've worked on many murder and manslaughter cases successfully and will support you, too.
