Need help with a criminal charge? Call (416) 925-2400What is a Criminal Charge?
A criminal charge alleges that a person has committed an offence under the Criminal Code of Canada or related federal legislation. Convictions can result in a criminal record, fines, probation, driving prohibitions and, in some cases, jail.
Types of Criminal Matters
Bail
Release and detention hearings after arrest.
Trials & Preliminary Inquiries
Hearings where witnesses testify and a judge (or judge and jury) decides whether the Crown has proven the case beyond a reasonable doubt.
Sentencing & Reviews
Sentencing hearings, probation variations, review hearings and other post-verdict matters.
Virtual Court & Disclosure Tips
- Log in to the virtual courtroom at least 15 minutes early.
- Use your full legal name and keep your camera and microphone available unless told otherwise.
- Do not record or stream court. Recording is prohibited under the Courts of Justice Act.
- Request disclosure from the Crown as early as possible so you have time to review it with your lawyer.
