Sexual Offences
Non-Judgmental Defence for Serious Allegations
Sexual offence allegations are among the most serious and stigmatized charges in Canadian criminal law. These cases often carry devastating consequences, including jail time, registration on the National Sex Offender Registry (SOIRA), and lasting harm to your personal and professional life.
