I’m in trouble. What happens next?
The first days and weeks after an unexpected charge matter enormously. There is often key evidence to preserve, and there may be witnesses to interview and release conditions to adapt to.
At Gray Defence, we offer confidential consultations without delay. We believe that one of your first conversations post-release should be with a lawyer. You need to understand potential employment consequences before you speak with your employer. You need a candid conversation about living with your bail conditions. You may need to take immediate steps to preserve evidence. And you need a strategy that begins before your first court date, not after it.
The charge was not in your control. What happens next can be.
The presumption of innocence protects the fundamental liberty and human dignity of any and every person accused by the State of criminal conduct. — Chief Justice Dickson, R. v. Oakes, Supreme Court of Canada, 1986
George Gray — Personally Leading Your Defence
We strongly believe that when you retain a criminal defence firm, you should know exactly who is fighting for you — and be able to reach him.
At Gray Defence, your case is led by George Gray, the firm’s founder and principal. He sets the strategy, appears at the moments that matter, and remains your point of contact from the first meeting to the final resolution. Behind him is a team of dedicated associates working under his supervision — the depth of a firm, with the accountability of a single senior advocate.
