The role of a Mount Forest Criminal Defence Lawyer
Anyone charged with a criminal offence in Canada has a right to trial. At that trial, the prosecution must prove each element of each charge with evidence establishing proof beyond a reasonable doubt. Only a voluntary guilty plea by the accused can relieve the prosecution of that burden of proof.
Good people can be charged with criminal offences or face false or exaggerated claims. A conviction for a criminal offence is often devastating and can often mean jail time, fines, probation, criminal records for life, loss of employment and stigma and muddied reputation.
Facing a police investigation or criminal charges without a criminal defence lawyer leaves you vulnerable to major mistakes or missteps that can be the end of any chance at an acquittal. Missteps in the early stages of a criminal case can be the difference between a conviction and an acquittal. Don’t put yourself in that position. Hire a criminal lawyer from the start and gain the benefit of the lawyer’s support and understanding of the law and investigative processes so that you are best placed to defend yourself moving towards your trial.
From the start, Perrin reviews the evidence from the police with his client and interviews his client in order to understand the client’s circumstances. Together with his client, Perrin develops a customized and effective defence strategy. Sometimes this requires hiring expert witnesses or private investigators. With the client’s instructions, Perrin will often negotiate with the prosecution seeking an acceptable solution. If the prosecution will not agree to an acceptable solution to the client’s case, then Perrin is happy to proceed to trial.
Even if you think you want to plead guilty, you have much to benefit from the help of criminal defence lawyer. Perrin will make sure you have the full understanding of the consequences of the decision to waive your right to a trial and to plead guilty. Perrin will make sure you are informed about all your options. If, armed with this understanding, you still feel that you wish to plead guilty, Perrin uses his experience, gained through practicing in the Wellington County criminal courts since 2013, and his knowledge of the local processes and community supports and resources to help his clients be best positioned for sentencing.
