A bail hearing—also called a show cause hearing—is a proceeding where the Crown must show why you should be detained pending trial, or where you or your counsel must present a plan for your release. The outcome determines whether you wait for your trial date at home or in custody. A well-prepared bail hearing with a strong release plan can make an enormous difference to both your freedom and your ability to actively participate in your own defence.

In many cases, your lawyer can attend routine court appearances on your behalf so you don’t have to take time off work or disrupt your life for every adjournment or procedural date. However, some appearances—including guilty pleas, trials, and certain hearings—require your personal attendance. Your lawyer will tell you clearly which dates you must attend.

Available defences depend entirely on the nature of the claim. Common defences include: disputing the facts alleged by the plaintiff; arguing that no valid contract existed or that the contract was performed; raising the limitation period under the Limitations Act, 2002 (generally two years from when the plaintiff knew or ought to have known of the claim); challenging the plaintiff’s standing to sue; arguing that the plaintiff failed to mitigate their losses; and raising set-off if the plaintiff owes you money. A lawyer can identify which defences actually apply to your specific situation.

A single Canadian impaired-driving conviction does not generally make a person inadmissible to the United States by itself. However, multiple convictions, drug-related circumstances, or other accompanying offences may create admissibility issues. Border decisions are fact-specific, so obtain immigration or legal advice before travelling.

Criminal proceedings are brought by the Crown and can result in imprisonment, fines, or a criminal record. Civil litigation involves disputes between private parties—individuals, businesses, or organizations—seeking financial compensation, enforcement of rights, or other civil remedies. The burden of proof is different too: civil cases require proof on a balance of probabilities rather than beyond a reasonable doubt.

In some cases, release conditions can be changed through a formal legal process. Until a change is officially approved, you must continue following every condition—even if the complainant agrees to contact you. Pazuki Law can review your conditions and advise whether requesting a variation may be appropriate.

Pleading guilty is an option, but much depends on the specific facts of the case. Before making any decision about your plea, you should speak with a lawyer about the options available and the consequences of each. Our lawyers will provide sound and proper advice to help you make an informed decision.

This is a natural question if you’re facing GTA criminal charges. However, there’s no simple answer. Penalties vary depending on a range of factors including the nature of the case and your criminal history. You could face anything from a peace bond, a discharge, a small fine to prison time depending on circumstances. We will do everything legally possible to clear your name but if you’re found guilty, we’ll fight for the lowest penalty.

Conviction is serious but you won’t have to handle it alone. Whether you’ve been found guilty of a summary offense or an indictable matter, your lawyer will be by your side.

This is one of the most common criminal defence questions we receive. We always advise anyone who has been arrested to hire a lawyer even if the matter seems minor. Lawyers know how to ensure your rights are protected, analyze the evidence the Crown has against you, and mount the appropriate defence. If you don’t have a lawyer, you may not get a fair shake from the police and the court may impose excessive penalties.
