The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms sets out those rights and freedoms that Canadians believe are necessary in a free and democratic society.

The Charter is one part of the Canadian Constitution. The Constitution is a set of laws containing the basic rules about how our country operates.

Law enforcement officials have to operate with these laws even if they are investigating possible criminal activity.

It is important to know your rights as not everyone that is accused of a crime is guilty. Being innocent does not mean you should waive your rights.

There is a also a huge stigma around being investigated or being accused of a crime. In today's "cancel culture" world, individuals are treated as guilty before all facts are known.

This is why it is important that you deal with any accusations immediately. Contacting a defence lawyer even if you have not been charged should always be the first step.

This is also why I offer a Free Consultation so people can have some understanding of what their rights are in a situation where you or someone you know is being accused of a crime.

I know it can be hard making that first phone call which is why I encourage you to just send a text letting me know that you want a free consultation.

We can arrange the consultation to be via phone call, zoom or in person.

During that first meeting, clients find me to be understanding, compassionate and straight forward.

They learn that I am an aggressive lawyer that works very hard to defend my clients rights and I make that very clear.

It is okay to start with a text and then we can go from there.

Conversations with Karp

The Supreme Court of Canada issued a decision last month allowing criminal defendants in cases involving assault — including sexual assault — to use a defence known as self-induced extreme intoxication.

The previous reel addressed this decision and how this defence would only be used in extreme cases.

This video is the full interview explaining this decision in detail.

Please watch and share.

Let me know your thoughts and remember there is much more to a story than just the headline.



Please do share this reel with anyone that would find this information helpful!

Last year, I defended a client who was charged with uttering threats. I met with the client to gain a full understanding of the situation and learned how this situation came about.

The client was an upstanding citizen and did not have a previous criminal record. I knew that I could explain the circumstances of the case and that alternative measures were a possible option for my client. I was able to argue aggressively for my client and was successful. There was a stay of proceedings with alternative measures ordered of community service.

If you find yourself charged with a crime such as this or another crime, it is imperative you hire a lawyer that is very knowledgeable about the law and also very aggressive.

The Delay Argument or the Jordan Decison refers to the Charter of rights and freedoms: section 11(b) – the right to be tried within a reasonable time.

This important freedom was highlighted in a landmark decision that set waves throughout the Criminal Court System in Canada. The case in which this decision was made was R vs Jordan in Regina, Canada.

This set a precedent for hundreds of cases that followed. A precedent is a previous case or legal decision that can be used in similar cases in the future. Since this case was decided by the Supreme Court of Canada, it is legally binding to all cases of similar nature, in any province at any level of court. This means any lower court cases which relate to R. v. Jordan are allowed to cite this case as precedent.

Another 5 star review from a client facing charges. My client was being investigated and retained me during the investigation process.

I was able to speak to prosecution about case law involving the potential charges as well as the nature of the circumstances in general.

My client was not charged with any crime and was able to get on with his life. He was grateful as this was a stressful time in his life.

If you are facing allegations or criminal charges of any kind, please contact me for a free consultation.

Call anytime 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

What parents and teens need to know about photo sharing.

Almost all teens have their own cell phones and are very active on social media and communication apps.

While there are many benefits to technology and apps, talk to your teens about sharing photos - especially photos that are sexual in nature.

This can be an uncomfortable conversation but this is important information to know for any parent or teen.

While I’m not providing legal advice with this video, my intention is to create awareness around an issue that can have serious legal implications.

Talk to your kids. Start the conversation (or just share the video) and make sure they understand they consequences of these actions.

If you found this video informative, please like, share and follow.
