If you are facing a criminal charge in Nanaimo, Vancouver Island, or surrounding areas like Lantzville, Qualicum Beach, Robert’s Creek and Ladysmith, it is important to take them seriously. Even seemingly innocuous crimes like motor vehicle and driving offences can seriously impact your life and future. Having an experienced criminal defence lawyer represent you can have a significant impact on the outcome of your case. Sarah Leamon Law Group is proud to offer experienced and reliable legal guidance in criminal law cases throughout British Columbia.
Legal matters need a thorough understanding of the Criminal Code of Canada and applicable laws including the Motor Vehicle Act and other pieces of legislation. Our law firm has defended many clients against criminal charges in Nanaimo and Vancouver Island through the Provincial courthouse at 35 Front Street. You don’t have to face your criminal case alone. Our team of experienced criminal defence lawyers will help you reach the best possible outcome.
Finding the Right Criminal Defence Lawyer in Nanaimo
Choosing the right lawyers in Nanaimo is a critical first step in meeting your legal challenges head-on. Sarah Leamon Law Group is dedicated to offering the personalized attention you need for the best possible outcome and exploring each case’s unique complexities.
We have used our years of experience in Canadian law to successfully defend clients throughout British Columbia across a range of charges, from relatively minor charges like impaired driving to serious offences. We will ensure your rights and freedoms are protected from the first moment until the resolution of the case.
Remember that the very best thing you can do for your legal rights is take immediate action and protect yourself with a criminal lawyer. While under Canadian law you will be innocent until your guilt can be proven, law enforcement and the Crown are not on your side. They will use all information and resources possible to build their case, so having an experienced criminal defence lawyer on your side is vital.
Avoid Serious Legal Consequences
Criminal convictions aren’t just a matter of avoiding a criminal record. A conviction against you could have life-altering and severe repercussions, potentially affecting your livelihood, ability to travel freely, and much more. You could risk the custody of your children, your ability to find new work, and social stigmas and restrictions. Non-citizens may even face deportation.
Sarah Leamon Law Group brings years of trial experience and full familiarity with the Canadian legal system, its judges, and Crown Prosecutors to the table, ensuring your legal strategy will address your needs fully.
