Common questions
Can a paralegal really handle a criminal charge?
Only certain summary conviction matters, defined by law. We verify whether yours qualifies immediately, and if it does not, you leave with the name of a criminal defence counsel, not a guess.
Will this end up on my record?
It depends on the charge, your history, and the resolution. Diversion, withdrawals, and discharges all treat records differently, and we walk you through the honest picture before you decide anything.
