Understanding a Criminal Charge in Yukon

A criminal charge in Yukon is a serious matter, but it is not the end of your story. You are presumed innocent, and it is the Crown that must prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. The decisions you make in the first days after being charged can protect — or weaken — your defence.

How the Process Works

Cases generally begin in provincial or territorial court, with serious charges heard in a superior court. Along the way you may face a bail hearing, release conditions, and the Crown's disclosure before deciding between a plea and a trial.

Charges We Defend in Yukon

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