We represent clients in related matters including conspiracy allegations, proceeds of crime, unlawful possession, and border-related offences.
Trafficking or smuggling firearms is among the most aggressively prosecuted offences in Canada, often attracting mandatory minimum sentences and significant media scrutiny. These charges typically involve complex investigations, surveillance, border security protocols, or undercover operations. Our defence focuses on identifying breaches of Charter rights, dissecting the quality of surveillance evidence, and establishing distance between the accused and the actual movement or possession of weapons. When the stakes are high, precision in defence is critical—from the validity of search warrants to the credibility of confidential informants.
