Criminal Law Defense
Protect Your Rights. Protect Your Future.
Facing criminal charges in Calgary? The consequences can be life-altering. UMPC LAW provides the rigorous, strategic defense you need to navigate the justice system and fight for your freedom.
Overview of the Legal Issue
Being charged with a crime—whether it is impaired driving (DUI), assault, theft, or fraud—is an intimidating experience. The full weight of the state, including the police and the Crown Prosecutor, is focused on securing a conviction.
A criminal record is more than just a stigma; it is a permanent barrier. It can cost you your employment, restrict your ability to travel internationally (especially to the USA), and for non-citizens, it can lead to immediate deportation. In the face of these stakes, silence is your most powerful tool—until you have a lawyer to speak for you.
How UMPC LAW Helps
We believe in the presumption of innocence. Our job is not to judge you; it is to dismantle the case against you. We do not simply accept the police version of events. Our defense strategy focuses on:
Charter Rights Violations
We scrutinize your arrest. Did the police have probable cause? Was the search illegal? If your rights under the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms were violated, we fight to have the evidence excluded.
Disclosure Review
We analyze every page of the police report and witness statements to find inconsistencies, gaps, and procedural errors.
Strategic Negotiation
We engage with the Crown Prosecutor early to seek withdrawals, reduced charges, or “peace bonds” that can prevent a criminal record entirely.
The Legal Process
What to Expect
- Immediate Advice: We advise you on your right to remain silent. Do not give a statement to the police without counsel.
- Disclosure Phase: We receive and review the evidence package (Disclosure) from the Crown to assess the strength of their case.
- Resolution Discussions: We enter pre-trial negotiations to resolve the matter favorably without the risk of a trial.
- The Trial: If a fair resolution cannot be reached, we stand with you in court, cross-examining witnesses and presenting a robust defense before the Judge.
