YOUTH CRIMINAL DEFENCE LAWYERS IN HAMILTON
At Paquette Wilhelm Criminal Lawyers, we’re committed to protecting the legal rights of youth in Southern Ontario. Simple errors in conviction or misunderstandings can lead to criminal offences that follow a minor into adulthood. If your child is held in custody and needs a strong defence, you can count on us. Our youth criminal defence lawyers in Hamilton understand that when a young person is charged with a criminal offence, the whole family will be affected both financially and emotionally. Our experienced lawyers will work hard to keep a conviction from being entered on your child’s record, and to prevent legal sanctions.
SOUTHERN ONTARIO YOUTH CRIMINAL DEFENSE LAWYERS
If you’re in need of a strong representation for your son or daughter in youth court, entrust the matter to our experienced lawyers. Since 1988, we’ve defended youths and adults throughout Southern Ontario. We have successfully challenged the constitutionality of provisions found in the Youth Criminal Justice Act (YCJA) in the Supreme Court of Canada on a murder charge.
We have recently successfully challenged an important sentencing provision found in the YCJA permitting one of our clients to avoid incarceration for the offence of dangerous driving causing death. Ontario Government is appealing that decision to the Ontario Court of Appeal. At present, that case stands for an important precedent keeping young people out of custody in cases across Ontario. We will fight for your son or daughter to obtain the best possible outcome. Our lawyers will strongly fight for the best possible outcome and defend juveniles against all criminal offences, including:
-
Gun charges and other weapon offences
-
Dangerous driving
-
Murder/homicide
When your child is likely eligible to pay for legal proceedings, hiring an experienced lawyer can make a difference in the outcome of your case. Our law firm defends youth against all serious criminal offences, including cases before the Supreme Court of Canada. Contact our lawyers to build a strong defence in your child’s favour.
