What should I do if I’m charged with a crime?2025-07-20T17:21:54-07:00

The first thing you should do is speak to a lawyer — before talking to the police or anyone else. What you say early on can seriously impact your case. Stay calm, ask for legal counsel, and avoid making any statements until you’ve had proper legal advice.

What types of cases do you handle?2025-07-20T17:25:04-07:00

I focus primarily on defending individuals charged with sexual offences, but I also represent clients facing a wide range of charges, including:

  • Assault and violent offences
  • Drug charges
  • Theft and property offences
  • Impaired and driving-related offences
  • Youth criminal matters
  • Appeals and post-conviction issues
Do you take cases outside of Vancouver?2025-07-20T17:37:49-07:00

Yes. I represent clients throughout British Columbia, including Provincial Court, Supreme Court, and the Court of Appeal.

Do you work with youth or neurodiverse individuals?2025-07-20T17:38:33-07:00

Yes. I have extensive experience working with young people, as well as individuals with Autism, ADHD, and other neurodivergent needs. I tailor my approach to each client to ensure they feel understood, supported, and empowered at every stage of the process.

How much do you charge? Do you accept legal aid?2025-07-20T17:39:08-07:00

I offer flexible fee structures based on the nature and complexity of the case. I also accept legal aid in certain circumstances. During our first consultation, I’ll explain all your options so you can make an informed decision without pressure or confusion.

I’ve been falsely accused. What can I do?2025-07-20T17:40:11-07:00

What to Expect If You’re Charged with a Sexual Offence?2025-07-20T17:40:45-07:00

Being charged with a sexual offence is overwhelming — legally, emotionally, and socially. These cases move fast, and often come with strict bail conditions and high levels of stigma. In this post, I break down what to expect at each stage, from arrest to trial, and offer practical guidance on how to protect yourself from the very beginning.

Will my case be public?2025-07-20T17:41:18-07:00

Some cases, especially those involving sexual allegations or youth, may have publication bans to protect identities. I’ll walk you through what to expect in your specific case and help you understand how to protect your privacy as much as possible.
