Recent successes

  • Fraud and theft over $5,000 – stay of proceedings

    In a case involving fraud and theft over $5,000, a “nolle prosequi” (stay of proceedings) was obtained, leading to the client’s acquittal. By working closely with the client to build a strong defence and conducting a sharp cross-examination, the weaknesses in the prosecution’s evidence were exposed.

  • Rejection of youth protection intervention request

    In a case where youth protection services (DPJ) sought involvement due to alleged risk of sexual abuse, the request was rejected. We successfully demonstrated that the teenagers held a grudge against their father, and the judge concluded that their testimonies were not credible and the alleged events were false. The family was thus able to return to normal life.

  • Acquittal after trial in sexual assault case

    In a criminal case where the complainant alleged multiple sexual assaults by the client, an acquittal was obtained after trial. Cross-examination revealed that the complainant’s testimony was neither credible nor reliable, while the accused’s testimony was. The client was therefore acquitted.

  • 810 peace bond agreement and acquittal

    In a criminal case where the client was charged with sexual assault, a peace bond agreement (810) followed by an acquittal was secured. This result came from an effective cross-examination of the complainant. Given the weaknesses in the prosecution’s case, the parties agreed to resolve the matter through the 810 agreement, leading to the client’s acquittal and avoiding a criminal conviction and its consequences.

  • Acquittal in impaired driving case

    In a criminal case where the client was charged with impaired driving, an acquittal was obtained. Cross-examination of the police officers revealed inconsistencies between their accounts and exaggerated descriptions of the alleged symptoms. Even though the client did not testify, the prosecution’s weak evidence led to an acquittal, sparing the client a criminal conviction and license suspension.
