How to choose a criminal defence lawyer in Brampton

  1. Confirm the lawyer is licensed and in good standing with the Law Society of Ontario.
  2. Ask how much of their practice is criminal defence, and how recent their experience is with cases like yours.
  3. Compare the Google rating together with the number of reviews, not the rating alone.
  4. Read recent reviews for comments on communication and responsiveness.
  5. Ask for the fee structure in writing before you sign, including what is billed separately.
  6. Meet with more than one firm if the matter is large, and trust the one that explains your options clearly.

Questions to ask at your first consultation

What to bring

How the process usually works

  1. The lawyer gets the charges and the disclosure from the Crown.
  2. They advise you on bail, evidence and options.
  3. Pre-trial discussions with the Crown may lead to a resolution.
  4. If there is no resolution, the case goes to trial.
  5. After a verdict there may be sentencing or an appeal.

Costs and fees

Criminal defence is often quoted as a flat fee per stage, or a retainer billed hourly. If cost is a concern, ask whether you may qualify for legal aid. Ask about disbursements (third-party costs), taxes, and what happens if your matter changes in scope. Many firms offer a first consultation, but confirm whether it is free.
