Common Questions

Answers, in plain language.

The questions we hear most often from people facing charges in Ontario.

What should I do if I've been charged or arrested?

Do not speak to police without a lawyer. Your first step should be contacting a criminal defence lawyer immediately to protect your rights, assess the situation, and guide you on what to do next.

Do I need a lawyer if the charges seem minor?

Yes. Even "minor" criminal charges can carry serious consequences, including a criminal record, fines, or restrictions on travel and employment. Early legal advice can often prevent long-term damage and improve outcomes.

How soon should I contact a criminal defence lawyer?

As soon as possible. Early involvement allows your lawyer to intervene quickly, preserve evidence, address bail issues, and potentially resolve the matter before it escalates.

Will my case go to trial?

Not all cases go to trial. Many criminal matters are resolved through negotiations or withdrawals, depending on the evidence and circumstances. Your lawyer will explain your options and recommend the best path forward.

Can you help me get bail or remove release conditions?

Yes. Bail hearings and bail reviews are a key part of criminal defence. A lawyer can advocate for your release and work to challenge unnecessary conditions.

What types of criminal charges do you handle?

Bail hearings, assault, sexual offences, domestic violence, fraud and financial crime, weapons offences, drug charges, impaired driving, and shoplifting, at every level of court in Ontario, including the Court of Appeal.

What does the free consultation include?

A private one-on-one with Sourena: we listen to your side, explain the charges or investigation you're facing, and give you clear, straightforward guidance on your legal options.

No obligation to retain afterward, and everything you share is confidential.
