Kemptville Spousal Abuse Defence Lawyers
One of the most important jobs of a criminal defence lawyer is to educate clients on the process and what they can anticipate down the road. At our firm, we will explain the concept of a discharge, which is essentially pleading guilty without having to answer yes to questions on employment applications asking if you have ever been convicted of a crime.
We will also explain the advantages and disadvantages of going to trial. If you have questions regarding restrictions of contact and other consequences after an arrest, we will be happy to answer them.
