Legal Services from Scarborough Criminal Defence Law Firm

At Vilkhov Law, we offer legal representation for all types of criminal charges in Scarborough.

Sexual Assault

Similar to other sexual offences in Canada, sexual assault charges are fraught with not only prison time and the potential of a criminal record, but also social stigma and registration with the National Sex Offender Registry (NSOR). Anyone facing sexual assault charges would benefit from having a lawyer involved early in their case to defend them against false accusations and develop a strong line of defence.

Most sexual assault cases are credibility cases with no witnesses, which require meticulous examination of the evidence and thorough preparation. Vilkhov Law sexual assault lawyers in Scarborough will cross-examine the accusations against you, look for inconsistencies in the evidence, and subject the credibility of the complainant to scrutiny.

Bail Hearings

During your bail hearing, the judge will decide if you should stay in custody or be released until trial. Most accused will seek bail to avoid detention after their initial arrest.

Although the onus to prove why someone should be detained is on the Crown, you will still need to be well-prepared in order to explain your personal circumstances during your bail hearing. Scarborough criminal lawyers from Vilkhov Law will help you develop a comprehensive release plan, gather necessary evidence, and ensure professional legal representation during your bail hearing.

Impaired Driving Offences

Compared to other crimes, impaired driving by alcohol or drugs continues to be the leading cause of deaths and injuries in Canada. Impaired driving charges are treated very seriously and can gravely affect your life, resulting in driving prohibition, higher insurance rates, fines, jail time, or even a criminal record.

Our criminal defence lawyers in Scarborough from Vilkhov Law implement comprehensive defence strategies in impaired driving cases. We will identify any errors in the criminal process, speak to the Crown on your behalf, and negotiate and advise you of your options.

Assault

Criminal law in Canada defines assault as broadly encompassing any intentional application of force, either directly or indirectly, to another person without their consent. The consequences of being found guilty of assault are substantial, and can include fines and jail time for several years.

Anyone accused of assault needs a robust defence strategy to minimize the disrupting potential consequences of criminal charges. Our criminal lawyers in Scarborough will help you navigate criminal law applicable to your assault, assess all the evidence against you, and mount a strong defence.

Fraud Charges

In Canada, fraud includes a wide list of offences which put the complainant at risk of financial loss, ranging from credit card, medical, and Internet fraud to stock and tax fraud. Like most financial crimes, defence for fraud can be nuanced and complicated and involve lengthy disclosure, including hundreds of pages of documents and hours of police interviews.

Our legal team of Vilkhov Law is well-versed in defence against fraud allegations and fighting these charges. Our criminal defence lawyer in Scarborough will review all the disclosure against you, gather additional evidence, combat false accusations, and assist with settlement negotiations.

Money Laundering

Laundering the proceeds of a crime, also known as money laundering, can hold severe consequences. As a federal offence, money laundering is treated very seriously and prosecuted by the Public Prosecution Service of Canada (PPSC).

Similar to fraud, defence against charges in money laundering calls for full disclosure of the evidence against you, and you will need a criminal lawyer by your side to access all the evidence, as the Crown will release certain items of the disclosure only to your legal counsel. Our team at Vilkhov Law will review disclosure, negotiate with the federal Crown on your behalf, and help you develop a strong defence strategy to fight your money laundering charges.

Firearm Possession

Unlawful or unauthorized possession of a firearm is a criminal offence vigorously prosecuted due to its dangerous nature, and these offences can carry mandatory incarceration sentences and result in a prison time of up to ten years.

The Criminal Code of Canada has a broad definition for firearms, including any barrelled weapon which can discharge a bullet, as well as imitations. An experienced criminal lawyer in Scarborough will evaluate the alleged firearm and evidence against you, check for any Charter rights violations and other errors in the criminal process, and work to secure your best possible outcome under the circumstances.

Child Pornography

In the Canadian Criminal Code, accessing, possessing, distributing, or making child pornography are all treated as highly serious crimes due to the vulnerability of children. Sex offences involving minors and child pornography are also the most stigmatizing, accompanied by the DNA, SOIRA and Section 161 orders.

Consulting a child pornography lawyer early in the process can make all the difference to ensure your defence strategy is on the right track. Our criminal defence lawyers in Scarborough from Vilkhov Law will work to assess all the evidence against you, help you mount a quality defence, and minimize the disruptive consequences of being charged with child pornography.

Drug Offences

Governed by the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act (CDSA), drug offences, including drug possession and drug trafficking, are federal offences falling under the jurisdiction of the Public Prosecution Service of Canada (PPSC). These charges vary depending on the type of drug, its quantity, and the type of the offence, and can include mandatory minimum penalties and long-term imprisonment.

When the Crown charges you for drug possession, they need to prove that you had both knowledge of and control over the prohibited substance. An experienced criminal defence lawyer in Scarborough at Vilkhov Law will help contest the elements of your drug offences, determine if your Charter rights were observed, and advise on your options.

Scarborough Ontario Court of Justice

If you are charged with a criminal offence and required to attend the Scarborough Ontario Court of Justice, don’t hesitate to get in touch with our criminal lawyers from Vilkhov Law. We provide defence in criminal cases for all courts of Toronto and the Greater Toronto Area, including Scarborough.

You can schedule your legal appointment with us at our Toronto office, or meet us at the Scarborough Courthouse at 1911 Eglinton Avenue East, depending on your circumstances and preference.
