Common questions
Stay calm, stay polite, and use your right to remain silent. Ask to speak with a lawyer right away, and do not answer questions about the allegation until you have. Call Alawi Law at (416) 551-4449 and we will respond quickly.
You have the right to represent yourself, but criminal law is complex and a conviction can affect your job, travel and future. A criminal defence lawyer knows the procedure, the rules of evidence and how to challenge the Crown’s case, which can make a real difference to how your case ends.
Bail is urgent, and we treat it that way. Call our office as soon as you can. We act quickly for bail hearings across the Greater Toronto Area and work to have you represented at the earliest available hearing.
At trial, the court decides whether the Crown has proven the charge beyond a reasonable doubt, based on the evidence. An appeal comes after a trial is finished. It looks at whether legal errors affected the verdict or sentence, rather than hearing the evidence again.
We defend a wide range of criminal charges, including assault, sexual assault, drug offences, fraud, impaired driving and weapons charges. We also handle bail hearings, Charter challenges and appeals across the Toronto area.
