CRIMINAL CHARGES
Defending ALL criminal charges, including:
Impaired driving, Domestic assault, Drug offences, Theft,
fraud, robbery, Young offender charges, Firearms charges,
Sexual offences, Murder, Homicide, Terrorism, Human Trafficking charges, etc.
SEXUAL OFFENCES
We have entered an era where allegations of sexual misconduct and impropriety have taken on an entirely new significance. Some have even suggested that evidence in such cases should receive special treatment in court. Jason will defend you and your reputation fiercely and tirelessly against such allegations.
YOUTH CRIMINAL CHARGES
When a young person is charged criminally it is often as stressful and worrisome for parents as it is for the youth involved. As a parent, Jason understands that, and works with the family unit. But Jason’s primary obligation is to his client, the youth charged.
DOMESTIC VIOLENCE CHARGES
These can be among the most emotionally stressful charges to deal with, but are unfortunately among the most common in our criminal justice system. If charged with an offence of this nature, you will have conditions that will prohibit you from returning to your family home and from communicating with your partner and possibly even your children. Jason’s experience as both a criminal lawyer and a lawyer who deals with C.A.S. matters ensures you are getting the best advice on how to deal with these delicate and emotionally-charged situations.
DEFENDING PARENTS
Defending parents involved with the Children’s Aid Society of Ottawa: Applications for supervision orders, Applications for Society wardship, Applications for Crown wardship, Status Review proceedings and Advice on Voluntary Services Agreements.
IMPAIRED DRIVING
A person can be charged with driving while impaired by alcohol or a drug. There are minimum penalties for these offences that involve mandatory jail time for second or subsequent convictions, and licence suspensions in all cases. In 2018 the government is passing new impaired driving legislation. Jason will fight for you and navigate you through this complex maze if you are facing such charges.
MURDER/HOMICIDE
If you are facing such a charge, you are facing the most serious charge in the Criminal Code. If convicted, you can be facing life in prison. Jason has the knowledge and expertise to defend you in these cases thoroughly, vigorously and effectively.
DRUG OFFENCES
Possession of small quantities of marijuana will be legal in Canada commencing in July 2018. Until then, possession continues to be a criminal offence. The possession and trafficking of many other prohibited substances such as cocaine, crack, heroine, fentanyl, ecstasy, methamphetamine, etc., can carry severe penalties, including lengthy jail terms. You need to know your rights against constitutional violations such as illegal searches, and Jason will identify those issues and fight those battles.
