CRIMINAL LAW

The purpose of criminal law is to enforce societal rules and maintain order, but its application can sometimes disproportionately affect those who challenge or oppose authority.

Being charged with a criminal offense can be overwhelming and stressful. At Anwar Law Professional Corporation, we are committed to providing strong legal representation and strategic defense to individuals facing criminal charges in Ontario. Our experienced team ensures that your rights are protected, and we fight tirelessly to achieve the best possible outcome for your case.

Your Rights & the Presumption of Innocence

In Canada, the presumption of innocence is a fundamental principle of the justice system. This means you are considered innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. The prosecution must present clear and convincing evidence before a judge or jury can convict you.

Our role as your criminal defense lawyers is to:

  • Safeguard your rights throughout the legal process
  • Challenge the prosecution’s case and evidence
  • Advocate for fair treatment under the law
  • Develop a strong defense strategy to protect your future

Comprehensive Criminal Defense Services

Legal Representation from Arrest to Trial

We provide legal support at every stage of your case—from initial questioning by law enforcement to bail hearings, trials, and appeals. Early legal intervention can significantly impact the outcome of your case.

Protection of Your Charter Rights

Your rights under the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms include:
✔ The right to remain silent
✔ The right to be informed of the charges against you
✔ Protection against unreasonable search and seizure
✔ The right to a fair and impartial trial

If law enforcement violates your rights, we will take action to challenge unlawful evidence and seek possible dismissal of charges.

Case Review & Defense Strategy

Every case is unique. We carefully analyze the evidence, witness credibility, and police procedures to build a strong defense. Our approach includes:

  • Challenging the admissibility of evidence
  • Cross-examining witnesses to expose inconsistencies
  • Presenting alternative legal defenses tailored to your case

Bail Hearings & Release Applications

If you have been denied bail, we can advocate for your release under the least restrictive conditions possible. We handle bail hearings to ensure you remain free while awaiting trial.

Negotiation & Plea Bargaining

In some cases, negotiating with the prosecution can lead to:

  • Reduced charges
  • A lighter sentence
  • Alternative sentencing options (such as community service or diversion programs)

We work to secure favorable plea agreements while protecting your rights.

Trial Representation

If your case proceeds to trial, we provide aggressive courtroom defense, including:

  • Arguing legal motions to exclude unreliable evidence
  • Cross-examining prosecution witnesses
  • Presenting strong defense arguments before a judge or jury

Sentencing & Appeals

If convicted, we advocate for the least severe penalty possible and explore grounds for appeal if errors occurred during your trial. We also assist with parole hearings and sentence reductions.
