What a Criminal Charge in Alberta Really Means

A charge laid anywhere in Alberta is an allegation, not proof of guilt. Under the Criminal Code of Canada you are presumed innocent, and the Crown prosecutor must establish every element of the offence beyond a reasonable doubt. What you say and do in the hours after an arrest often matters more than anything that follows.

The Court Process Step by Step

Most matters open in provincial court, while the most serious charges move to a superior court. Along the way you may face a bail hearing, release conditions, and the Crown's disclosure of its evidence before you decide between a plea and a trial.

Charges We Defend Across Alberta

  • Assault and domestic violence — from common assault to bodily harm
  • Impaired driving and over 80 — alcohol and drug allegations
  • Drug possession and trafficking
  • Theft, fraud, and weapons offences
