Facing criminal charges means navigating a complex legal landscape where the stakes are incredibly high, impacting your freedom, reputation, and future.
Criminal defence is rarely straightforward; it demands a thorough examination of evidence, a deep understanding of procedural rules, and the ability to challenge the prosecution effectively. Mincher Koeman’s lawyers will delve into every detail of your case, from questioning the legality of police procedures to dissecting forensic evidence and witness testimonies, ensuring a comprehensive and strategic defence is built to protect your rights and pursue the best possible outcome.
If you’re charged with a criminal offence, the most crucial first step is to remain silent and contact a lawyer immediately. Do not speak to the police without legal counsel present, and do not sign any documents until you have contacted a lawyer.
After being charged, you will typically have a bail hearing where a judge or a justice of the peace decides whether you can be released from custody while your case is ongoing. In Alberta, the court considers factors like the seriousness of the offence, your criminal record, and whether you are a flight risk.
Even if you’re innocent, navigating the criminal justice system can be complex and overwhelming. A lawyer ensures your rights are protected, understands the legal procedures, can challenge evidence presented by the prosecution, and build a strong defence on your behalf.
