How do I find the best criminal lawyer in Toronto?
Choose a Toronto criminal lawyer with 10+ years of experience in your specific charges, proven track record of favourable outcomes, Law Society of Ontario membership in good standing, and strong courtroom advocacy skills. Look for lawyers who offer free consultations, transparent pricing, and direct access rather than paralegal handling.
What happens at a bail hearing in Toronto?
Bail hearings in Toronto determine if you’ll be released pending trial. The Crown must show cause why detention is necessary, considering flight risk, public safety, and confidence in justice. Your lawyer presents a release plan with suitable sureties. Most people are released on bail with conditions.
Do I need a lawyer for a DUI charge in Toronto?
Yes, DUI charges in Toronto carry serious consequences, including license suspension, criminal record, fines up to $2,000, and potential jail time. An experienced DUI lawyer can challenge evidence, negotiate reduced charges, or achieve acquittal. The cost of legal representation is often less than the long-term consequences.
