Criminal Charges

Facing criminal charges is frightening and can affect your entire future. While most mid-sized firms don’t practice criminal law, we stand out by maintaining a dedicated defence team. From summary convictions to serious indictable matters, we’ve defended clients at all court levels, including the Supreme Court of Canada. Early representation is crucial to protect your rights.

Record Suspensions

A record suspension allows individuals who have been convicted of a criminal offence, but have served their time or demonstrated good behaviour, to have their criminal record kept private. Our lawyers can assist you with the complicated process and help ensure that the application documents are fully accurate and complete.

Estate Disputes

Family conflicts over estates are becoming increasingly common and emotionally difficult. When executors fail to communicate, wills can seem unfair, and assets may be mishandled; emotions run high. We help families across Nova Scotia and Atlantic Canada resolve these sensitive disputes through negotiation when possible or litigation when necessary.
