What to Know If You Are Charged in Newfoundland

A criminal charge in Newfoundland puts your freedom, your job, and your reputation at risk. Still, a charge is only an allegation, and under the Criminal Code of Canada the Crown must prove its case beyond a reasonable doubt. The steps you take early — especially what you tell police — often decide how the case unfolds.

Understanding the Court Process

Cases usually begin in provincial court, with the most serious matters heard in a superior court. You may deal with a bail hearing, release conditions, and disclosure of the Crown's evidence before choosing between a plea and a trial.

Charges We Defend

  • Assault and domestic violence
  • Impaired driving and over 80
  • Drug possession and trafficking
  • Theft, fraud, and mischief
