We will review the disclosure (evidence) with you to ensure that you completely understand the charges against you.

Criminal Defence – Defending adults, youth, indigenous and other communities in criminal offences including:
Bail
If you are arrested or are seeking a lawyer for another individual, call me immediately. It is important not to answer any questions at the police station prior to seeking legal advice.Getting out on bail is an important preliminary step to your criminal charge. We will work together to ensure that a bail hearing is done as soon as possible and that jail time is kept to a minimum. Depending on the severity of the offence, a show cause bail hearing is sometimes not even necessary, and I can negotiate with the Crown to secure your release within the same day of being contacted. If necessary, an individualized plan will be constructed and identified sureties will be contacted in order to give you a strong bail hearing.
Bail conditions
Bail conditions are often crafted to the Crown’s satisfaction, which allows your release from custody.
I will ensure that these conditions impose as little restriction as possible to your current lifestyle.
It is common for circumstances or life changes to occur after the bail conditions have been drafted.
In this case we will review the conditions and propose a more suitable variation to the crown in order to best accommodate you.
Resolution
At Rosenstock Law, clients come first. Your best interests will be represented throughout the entire process.
It is imperative for defence counsel to establish a good relationship with the Crown and be able to negotiate on your behalf.
Sometimes a lengthy trial can be avoided. When possible, I will seek the best possible deal in order to avoid trial and a criminal record.
Trial
Sometimes, it is impossible to avoid a trial. In this case, we will put forth a powerful defence. A strong cross-examination and examination-in-chief are a key factors in a successful outcome. There are always multiple sides to every story. I will fight to ensure that your credibility is brought to the forefront of the matter.
Sentencing
If guilt is established before the courts, a sentencing hearing will be scheduled. At this phase our goal is to ensure that your get the least serious sentence. Depending on your charges, it is sometimes still possible to receive a sentence that does not involve a criminal record. The most favourable components of your situation will be brought to light, to ensure that the outcome is as reasonable as possible.
