  • JURY DUTY – A lot of people don’t want to serve as a juror but it can be a very interesting and rewarding experience. Not much is generally known about it, so this interview and article can be very informative.

  • THE TRUE NORTH STONG AND FREE: Canada Day is a good day to affirm that as criminal defence lawyers we do not just defend the innocent and the guilty but by doing so we protect the fundamental rights of freedom we all enjoy, from encroachment by the legislative branch of government who make the laws and by the executive branch whose police execute those laws in the way they interact with us in our daily lives. This is why we are passionate about what we do. Celebrate and enjoy our Canadian freedom today!
