Firearms and Weapons Offences

Weapons offences in Canada can be complex. Due to the different kinds of offences, you will need an experienced criminal lawyer on your side to ensure you get justice. What The Law can be just that for you.

Fraud

Fraudin the Criminal Code of Canada is split into two charges; fraud under $5,000.00 and fraud over $5,000.00. The two charges differ in their consequences but can both lead to a criminal record, possible jail time, and other long-term effects, like loss of job prospects if you’re convicted.

What The Law has defended many fraud charges and can offer you support and a passionate defence.

Theft

As with fraud, theft charges in Canada can be split into two; theft under $5,000.00 and theft over $5,000.00. The former, and less severe charge can result in a fine and/or 6 months in prison. The latter, more serious offence can lead to up to ten years in prison upon conviction.

Being convicted of theft can have long-term ramifications for you, including an inability to secure a job or housing. For this reason, you need a reliable defence team, like the team at What The Law.

Robbery

Robbery charges involve taking someone's property and an element of violence. If convicted, you’ll face prison time and a criminal record for life. What The Law has experience in defending robbery charges of all kinds, and we can help you too.

Murder and Manslaughter

Murder is one of the most serious criminal offences you can be charged with in Canada. A conviction will almost definitely lead to prison time. There are a few kinds of murder charges you might see, which include first-degree murder, second-degree murder, and manslaughter, a lesser charge that involves taking a life without the intention to do so.
