What We Can Help With...
In Canada, Crown prosecutors are under-resourced and unable to fully prepare witnesses and victims for trial. It can be overwhelming not getting answers to your questions and feeling like you are left in the dark with no guidance. Figuring out what to expect and how to prepare for court can be overwhelming, but you don't have do it alone. We can guide you through the process, answer your questions, and empower you with the information and preparation that you need. From navigating the court process to understanding your rights, and even giving advice on how to dress for court appearances, no question is too big or small.
If you are helping support your loved one through this challenging process, you deserve support and guidance too. It can be particularly challenging when you are not directly involved and neither the prosecutor nor the defence lawyer are there to assist you. Whether you are looking for information on behalf of a family member or friend, or if you are seeking assistance for yourself, we are here to help.
Navigating the justice system can be overwhelming, especially when you're being called to testify as a Crown witness against a loved one. Whether you're feeling nervous about testifying, don't want the charges to proceed, or are concerned about the possibility of a criminal record for the accused, we're here to help. Our services include clear advice about your rights and responsibilities when you've received a subpoena, answers to your questions about the legal process, and assistance in drafting a formal recant letter to express your wishes to the Crown or the appropriate agency. We aim to empower you with knowledge and ensure your voice is heard.
Being a surety is a serious commitment, and it's essential to understand your rights and obligations before agreeing to take on the role. Whether you're considering becoming a surety and want guidance on the bail process, or you're already a surety and need help modifying conditions or stepping down, we can assist. We provide expert advice tailored to your situation, ensuring you fully understand the legal and financial responsibilities involved. Let us help you navigate this complex process with clarity and confidence.
Preparing for court can be nerve-wracking and confusing, no matter what your role is. From when and where to go, what to bring, and even what to wear, we understand that being equipped with this knowledge can help ease the stress. With several years of hands-on courtroom experience, we have the background to help you best prepare for your day in court.
We offer a wide range of services - if there is something specific you are looking for, just ask! Some examples include a crash-course on legal research for non-legal professionals, understanding legal concepts specific to your situation (such as youth criminal justice, restorative justice processes, etc.), and connecting you with the support you need.
