Criminal Defense Practice

Shielding Your Record Against Property and Theft Charges.

Break and enter, mischief, arson, and possession of stolen property allegations can seriously damage your professional career and employment opportunities. We challenge circumstantial presence, pursue diversion options, and defend your rights.

Evidentiary Precision and Record Preservation

Property offences often rely heavily on circumstantial evidence, such as fingerprints, security system timestamps, or tracking data. We carefully dissect the links in the Crown's case, while simultaneously pursuing alternative measures and adult diversion programs to keep our clients' records clean.

Break and Enter Charges

A break and enter conviction carries significant penalties. We challenge the intent elements, distinguishing simple trespass or unlawful presence from criminal break and enter intent.

Ontario Adult Diversion Programs

For many first-time offenders charged with minor theft, possession of stolen property, or mischief, we actively negotiate for entry into the Crown's Adult Diversion Program. Completing community service, mental health support, or minor restitution results in a complete withdrawal of criminal charges, preserving your record and future employment.

Mischief charges cover vandalism, physical damage, and interference with commercial or digital property. We review communication and CCTV logs to dispute identity, or work to resolve cases through restorative agreements and minor compensation, avoiding criminal convictions.

To convict you of possession of stolen goods, the Crown must prove you had actual knowledge that the items were obtained by crime. We challenge this element of "guilty knowledge," demonstrating simple purchase reliance or absence of control to defeat the prosecution's case.
