DEFENCE FOR PROPERTY & THEFT CRIMES IN ONTARIO

COMMON CHARGES WE DEFEND

We regularly defend clients against property-related allegations such as:

Theft under or over $5,000, including shoplifting, employee theft, and organized theft rings
Fraud, including credit card fraud, cheque fraud, and financial deception
Identity theft and impersonation
Break and enter into homes, businesses, or vehicles
Mischief, including vandalism or destruction of property
Possession of stolen property
Arson, including intentional or reckless damage by fire

STRATEGIC DEFENCE TAILORED TO YOUR CASE

Property offences often involve specific evidence, such as surveillance footage, witness testimony, and digital records. We carefully review every aspect of your case, examining how evidence was obtained, whether your Charter rights were violated, and whether the Crown can prove intent or knowledge.

For many first-time or low-level offences, we explore diversion programs, withdrawals, or conditional discharge, legal pathways that may help you avoid a criminal record altogether. In more serious or complex cases, we are fully prepared to challenge the evidence and defend your rights in court.
