    TESTIMONIALS

    Recent Success Stories

    • Patrick’s Case (2014): Patrick was charged with sexually assaulting AH after AH came forward and told the police that Patrick had sexually assaulted him numerous times in the early 1980s when he was a resident in a youth shelter run by Patrick.  The difficultly for Patrick was that he had previously been convicted of sexually assaulting several other young men.  At the commencement of Patrick’s trial, Mr. Erickson presented the Crown with the results of his further investigations concerning AH’s background.  Based on this new information, the Crown withdrew all charges against Patrick.
    • Ravendra’s Case (2015): Ravendra was charged with sexually assaulting his cousin, JC, after she came forward and told the police that he had sexually assaulted her numerous times when she was approximately 5 years old.  Based on the inconsistencies which Mr. Erickson uncovered during his cross-examination of JC at the preliminary inquiry, the Crown withdrew all charges against Ravendra.
    • Edwin’s Case (2014): Edwin was charged with impaired driving and “over 80” after he failed to stop for a red light and smashed into a taxi on Danforth Avenue in Toronto.  At trial, Mr. Erickson brought several pre-trial motions to exclude all statements made by Edwin at the scene of the accident as well as his breath samples results.  Following Mr. Erickson’s successful pre-trial motions, the Crown withdrew all charges against Edwin.
    • Zhenhua’s Case (2015): Zhenhua was charged with “over 80” after York Regional Police saw him pull out of a parking lot of a popular karaoke bar and swerve several times as he drove away.  Upon being stopped by police, Zhenhua failed the roadside breath test and was transported to a police division where he provided two breath samples which were both over the legal limit.  At trial, Mr. Erickson brought a pre-trial motion to have the charged stayed because his client’s right to have a trial in a reasonable time had been infringed.  After hearing argument, the Court agreed with Mr. Erickson and stayed the charge.
    • Le’s Case (2015): Le was charged with “over 80” after a police helicopter followed him to his home where several police officers surrounded him before he could get out of his car.  After being escorted off his property by the officers, Le failed a roadside breath test and was transported to a police division where be provided two breath samples which were both over the legal limit.  At trial, Mr. Erickson brought a pre-trial motion to exclude his breath samples on the basis that the police did not have lawful justification to come onto his property to investigate him.  Midway through the trial, the Crown agreed that Mr. Erickson would likely win the trial and withdrew Le’s charge.
