FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I avoid a criminal record?
It is absolutely possible to avoid a criminal record when charged with an offence. Many factors will be at play in this determination.
Feel free to contact Lisa to arrange a consultation and you can discuss this with her in further detail.
Can I represent myself?
In Canada, everyone charged with a criminal offence is free to represent themselves if they wish.
However, Lisa advises against it for two main reasons:
- If you’re not a lawyer, chances are you are not experienced in the inner workings of the criminal justice system in Canada; and
- Even if you are a lawyer, it is extremely difficult to be objective when the case is pertaining to you.
Being objective is an important tool to possess when conducting a criminal case, as it allows you to hypothesize as to the strategy of the opposition.
Should I just plead guilty to the charge to get it over with?
You should NEVER plead guilty to a criminal offence without knowing all of the ramifications involved. Lisa will explain everything to you in detail involving the offence that you are charged with, as well as how pleading guilty will affect you.
Lisa will review your case in detail, and if there is a possible defence to the charge based on your situation, she will discuss that with you.
Can I change my bail conditions?
It is possible to change or ‘vary’ bail conditions. This will be dependent on the nature of the charges, the type of bail you are subjected to, as well as the severity/importance of the condition that you want to change.
This is another issue that can be discussed during your initial consultation with Lisa.
Can I get my fingerprints and photographs destroyed when my case is over?
Yes, it is possible. If you are found not guilty, or your case is resolved without you getting a criminal record, as your lawyer, she will request that police destroy your fingerprints and photographs.
