How will drug related charges impact my future?
Canada outlines a wide range of drug and controlled-substance related offences in the Criminal Code and the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act; these include relatively minor marijuana drug possession charges as well as very serious crimes such as large-scale cocaine importation. Regardless of the gravity of the offence you have been accused of, a guilty conviction will have a serious impact on your life.
Incarceration periods are very disruptive to personal relationships and job stability, but other problems persist even after your sentence has been served. Drug-related charges can limit your mobility by increasing the scrutiny you face at the border; if convicted, you will be barred entirely from entering some parts of the world. Additionally, you may face difficulties with security clearances from your work.
What are my options for defence?
Erickson Law is fluent in all manner of defences for drug-related charges. We will work together in review of your unique charges, arrest, and personal circumstances to decide which defence is best for you. The approach we choose will be customized to your conditions to give you the best chance of success, and may include any of the following:
∙ Ensuring that your rights were not violated during the search and seizure
∙ Challenging the treatment and handling of any physical evidence
∙ Challenging the prosecution to prove that the drug is a controlled substance as defined in the Criminal Code
∙ Challenging the prosecution to affirm proof of drug ownership, knowledge, possession, or control of drugs beyond any reasonable doubt with your lawyer in Toronto
∙ Challenging the prosecution to prove “necessary intent;” that is, to prove that the accused had the requisite intent to commit the crime in question.
