Criminal Trial Defence

When does the trial stage begin?

When the public prosecution refers the case to the competent court and a hearing date is set.

From then, the court examines the charge, the evidence and your defence.

What does trial defence involve?

We study the file, prepare the defence memorandum, request evidence or witnesses and appear at each hearing.

We challenge the evidence that does not meet the standard and present what supports your position.

What should you expect?

Several hearings, a decision, and the possibility of appeal.

We explain each step beforehand so that none comes as a surprise.

What should I do first?

1. Obtain the referral and hearing date

   We confirm the court and the charge.

2. Review the file with us

   Statements, reports and exhibits.

3. Name your witnesses

   People who can speak to the facts.

4. Attend every hearing

   Absence can lead to a decision in your absence.
