    seprator-white

    Fedorowicz Law offers comprehensive defence for both indictable offences and summary offences. We have experience handling a wide range of criminal matters, including impaired driving, drug offences, assault charges, and complex fraud and firearms cases. Our goal is to reduce charges, challenge unlawful evidence, and pursue the best possible result for each client.

    Assault & Violent Crimes

    We defend clients facing simple assault, aggravated assault, assault with a weapon, and domestic violence allegations. These charges can lead to jail time and a permanent criminal record. We investigate the incident, identify inconsistencies in the complainant’s statement, and apply legal arguments rooted in self-defence, consent, or mistaken identity.

    Drug Offense Icon

    Drug Offences

    Our defence services cover all Controlled Drugs and Substances Act charges — including possession, trafficking, production, and importation. We challenge illegal searches under Section 8 of the Charter and seek to exclude unlawfully obtained evidence. Legal representation is critical in drug cases where mandatory minimum sentences may apply.

    Impaired Driving Icon

    DUI / Impaired Driving

    As a skilled DUI lawyer, Richard Fedorowicz defends against impaired driving, over 80, and refusal charges. Ontario’s impaired driving laws carry serious penalties, including license suspension and a criminal record. We scrutinize roadside testing procedures and Charter compliance, especially violations under Section 10(b) (right to counsel).

    Sexual Offences

    We provide focused legal defence for individuals facing allegations of sexual assault, invitation to sexual touching, and related charges. As a sexual assault lawyer, Richard Fedorowicz handles these matters with discretion and rigour, ensuring Charter rights are upheld and the presumption of innocence is maintained throughout the process.

    Theft, Fraud, and Financial Crimes

    We represent clients charged with theft under or over $5,000, credit card fraud, identity theft, embezzlement, and misappropriation. Many of these crimes are complex and involve digital evidence. Our defence includes challenging the Crown’s disclosure of evidence and seeking resolutions such as diversion or charge withdrawal.

    Firearms Icon

    Firearms and Weapons Charges

    Firearms charges carry serious consequences under the Canadian Firearms Act. We defend against unlawful possession, careless use, unauthorized storage, and weapons trafficking. We often rely on Charter-based arguments under Section 9 (arbitrary detention) and Section 8 (unreasonable search and seizure) to challenge the admissibility of key evidence.

    Legal Process in Aurora Criminal Cases

    Understanding the criminal trial process in Aurora is vital to building a strong legal defence. We guide clients from the moment of arrest through to appeal if necessary.

    Arrest and Bail Hearing

    Upon arrest, you have the right to remain silent and consult a lawyer under Section 10(b) of the Charter. We act quickly to secure release during a bail hearing, presenting strong plans of supervision and arguing for reasonable bail conditions.

    Disclosure and Evidence Review

    The Crown is obligated to provide full disclosure of evidence. We thoroughly review this material to identify inconsistencies, errors, or violations of your rights. Our goal is to assess whether there is a reasonable prospect of conviction or whether a case dismissal should be pursued.

    Pre-Trial Motions and Charter Challenges

    We file pre-trial motions to suppress evidence obtained through unlawful means. Charter applications are used to challenge police conduct and procedural delays. This includes Section 11(b) applications where your right to a trial within a reasonable time has been breached.

    Trial, Sentencing & Appeals

    If the case proceeds to trial, we cross-examine witnesses, argue reasonable doubt, and present defences tailored to the case facts. Where convictions occur, we pursue sentencing options that avoid jail or minimize long-term impact. As an experienced appeal lawyer, Richard Fedorowicz also handles appeals of both convictions and sentences.
