Criminal Law

Turn to us when you need the support, guidance, and direction of a criminal lawyer.

Criminal law is a complex, multifaceted area of the legal system, designed to address conduct that is considered harmful or threatening to the public. At Scholten Defence, our experience and knowledge regarding the criminal law system allows us to provide comprehensive and effective defence strategies for a wide range of criminal charges. No matter the charges against you, our experienced lawyers are equipped to handle your case with the utmost skill and determination.

Criminal Law

Our firm is well-versed in defending clients against many types of criminal law charges, including:

  • Assault—Assaulting another person comes with serious penalties, but we will represent you and your side of the story when faced with assault charges.
  • Drug charges—If you were charged for disobeying laws regarding the sale, possession, or transport of illegal substances, we can provide the representation you need.
  • Firearms offences—While a firearms offence conviction comes with serious penalties, we will work diligently to mitigate the charges against you.
  • Fraud—We take cases involving credit card fraud, identity theft, insurance fraud, money laundering, online fraud, and more.
  • Homicide—When facing charges for homicide, we can help you understand what the future may hold and fight for the best possible outcome to your case.
  • Traffic law—We take traffic law cases involving driving without insurance, impaired driving, and dangerous and careless driving.
