Calm, practical defence from the first call, so your rights are protected at every stage.
A criminal charge can put your freedom, your job and your reputation at risk. A criminal defence lawyer Edmonton residents can speak to early helps you understand the charge, protect your rights and make decisions with a clear head. Gupta Law Services reviews the evidence, explains your options honestly and represents you through bail, negotiations and trial.
Choose the charge closest to your situation.
Charges ranging from common assault to more serious allegations, where self defence, consent and the credibility of witnesses are often central.
Possession and trafficking charges, where the legality of a stop or search can decide the case.
Allegations between partners or family members, which often come with release conditions that need careful handling.
If you are arrested or detained, you have the right to speak to a lawyer without delay, and you have the right to remain silent. You do not have to explain yourself to police, and what you say can be used as evidence.
Politely ask to speak with a lawyer before answering questions, and avoid discussing the case with friends, family or on social media.
Charges are read in the Alberta Court of Justice. We can speak to bail and begin requesting the Crown's disclosure.
We study the evidence and how it was gathered, including searches, statements and identification.
We discuss whether to negotiate a resolution, seek a withdrawal or go to trial, and explain the likely consequences of each.
We prepare your case and represent you at the hearing, then advise on sentencing or appeal where it applies.

You have the right to remain silent. It is usually wise to say politely that you want to speak with a lawyer first, and then wait for that advice.
A bail hearing, also called judicial interim release, decides whether you are released while your charge is before the court and on what conditions. A lawyer can present a plan that addresses the court's concerns.
A charge alone is not a conviction, but it can appear in certain police record checks depending on the type of check. The outcome of the case decides what happens next, so speak with a lawyer about your options.
Duty counsel is available free of charge at court for first appearances, and Legal Aid Alberta helps eligible people. If you would like to hire us, we discuss fees before work begins.
