Understanding the issue
Theft and fraud offences cover a wide range of allegations. The value involved, alleged method, documentary trail, relationship between the parties and prior record can matter significantly.
What may require close attention
Digital records, receipts, banking information, messages and workplace records may become important evidence. Preserve potentially relevant material and obtain advice before contacting complainants or witnesses about the allegation.
Important: Do not use general website information to decide whether to contact a complainant, attend a location, drive, possess an item, or otherwise act contrary to a release order or court condition.
What to bring to a consultation
Bring the charging documents, release papers, disclosure, and any relevant transaction records or communications that you lawfully possess.
How legal representation may help
Depending on the retainer and stage of the case, work may include reviewing release conditions and disclosure, identifying evidentiary or Charter issues, communicating with the Crown, attending court, discussing resolution options and preparing for motions or trial.
