Criminal defence representation, from bail hearings through to trial.
Serving Toronto, Brampton, Newmarket, Oshawa, Orangeville, Kitchener, Barrie and surrounding areas.
Criminal charges vary in complexity and consequence. Stellar Law’s representation is grounded in close analysis of the evidence, thorough preparation and advice directed to the circumstances of each case.
Sexual offence prosecutions often turn on contested accounts, questions of consent and complex evidentiary rules. The consequences extend beyond criminal penalties to an accused person’s reputation and livelihood. Stellar Law’s approach combines close analysis of the disclosure, carefully prepared cross-examination and legal argument directed to the issues that may determine the case.
Stellar Law defends charges ranging from assault and assault causing bodily harm to aggravated assault, forcible confinement, kidnapping and attempted murder. These cases may turn on identification, the sequence of events, the nature of an injury or whether force was used in self-defence. The defence requires close examination of witness accounts, medical evidence and recordings, with particular attention to what each source establishes and what remains uncertain.
Allegations arising within intimate relationships can involve assault, criminal harassment, uttering threats or forcible confinement. Release conditions may restrict contact and access to the family home while proceedings are ongoing. Stellar Law examines the accounts of those involved, the surrounding communications and any independent evidence, assessing the allegations in context and advising on both the defence and release conditions.
Stellar Law defends drug possession and trafficking charges, alongside firearms offences including unlawful possession and allegations involving the discharge of a firearm. These prosecutions require scrutiny of the evidence connecting an accused person to the drugs or weapon. The defence also examines the legality of searches, seizures and detention, and whether the investigation respected the accused person’s Charter rights.
Property charges range from theft, possession of property obtained by crime and mischief to robbery and home invasion allegations. The issues differ according to the charge and may include identification, ownership, knowledge, intent and the alleged use of force. Stellar Law examines the evidence of each accused person’s involvement and whether it supports the conclusions advanced by the prosecution.
Fraud prosecutions require more than an account of a failed transaction or financial loss. The alleged dishonesty, the accused person’s knowledge and the alleged financial loss or risk of loss each require careful examination. Stellar Law analyses financial records, agreements and communications to assess the prosecution’s account, distinguish inference from evidence and identify the legal and factual issues on which the defence depends.
