You need to know your options and act quickly. The steps you take will affect your future and, in some cases, your freedom. Every criminal charge is serious and should not be taken lightly.

 

If you plead guilty to a criminal offence, you are admitting the allegations and relieve the crown to prove your case beyond reasonable doubt. Many criminal offences can result in substantial jail time.

 

You will get a Criminal record which may prevent you from obtaining employment and/or traveling to other countries.

 

A paralegal could arrange that the your charge be dealt with by alternative methods as opposed to a criminal conviction on your record.

 

Paralegals will offer you legal advice and reliable defence in court. Do not risk conviction for a criminal charge because you did not know the criminal process or simply were not familiar with hidden penalties .

 

If you have been arrested for a criminal offence you will need immediate help from a paralegal who handles criminal matters.
