When you’re facing criminal charges, your future, reputation, and freedom are at stake. Fedorowicz Law is committed to protecting your rights, fighting for justice, and delivering tailored legal representation. With decades of courtroom experience, Richard Fedorowicz combines legal knowledge with strategic advocacy to defend clients at every stage of the criminal trial process.
Fedorowicz Law provides full-spectrum criminal defence services. Whether facing indictable offences or summary offences, we defend clients across a wide range of charges—from impaired driving to serious violent crimes. Our defence attorney is prepared to navigate every phase of the legal process, providing clients with experienced legal representation backed by deep knowledge of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
We handle all levels of assault charges, including simple assault, aggravated assault, and assault with a weapon. These charges can result in jail time, criminal records, and long-term consequences. Fedorowicz Law crafts tailored defence strategies, often challenging the credibility of evidence or relying on self-defence claims where applicable.
Drug offences in Ontario range from possession to trafficking and production. We defend against charges involving controlled substances like cocaine, fentanyl, and cannabis under the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act. Our legal team scrutinizes the legality of searches under Section 8 of the Charter (unreasonable search and seizure), often seeking exclusion of improperly obtained evidence.
DUI laws in Ontario carry strict penalties, including licence suspensions, fines, and possible imprisonment. As a DUI lawyer, Richard Fedorowicz challenges the legality of traffic stops, the accuracy of breath tests, and whether proper rights were read under Section 10(b) of the Charter (right to counsel). We’ve achieved charge withdrawal and case dismissal through procedural violations and Charter breaches.
Allegations of sexual assault are serious and sensitive. As a seasoned sexual assault lawyer, Richard Fedorowicz defends against these accusations while safeguarding the presumption of innocence. We address bail concerns, challenge evidence through pre-trial motions, and ensure our clients’ Charter rights are fully upheld throughout the proceedings.
Our firm regularly defends individuals charged with theft, wire fraud, identity theft, and misappropriation of funds. In financial crime cases, success often depends on technical reviews of evidence and demonstrating a lack of intent. These complex charges are approached strategically, often with goals of charge withdrawal or reduction.
Canada’s firearm laws impose mandatory minimums for illegal possession and usage. Fedorowicz Law defends individuals charged under the Canadian Firearms Act, often citing Section 8 violations involving unlawful searches. We also address licensing issues and challenge the admissibility of seized weapons and related evidence.
Understanding the stages of a criminal case in Burlington can help clients prepare for what lies ahead. Fedorowicz Law supports clients through each legal milestone, beginning at arrest and ending at trial or appeal.
Upon arrest, you have the right to remain silent and the right to counsel under Section 10(b) of the Charter. Bail hearings are crucial to securing your release and avoiding pre-trial custody. We advocate for fair bail terms and present evidence in your favour to the court.
The Crown must disclose all relevant evidence to the defence. We review disclosure meticulously to identify inconsistencies, errors, or violations. Section 9 of the Charter (arbitrary detention) may also become relevant during this phase.
Fedorowicz Law often files pre-trial motions to exclude evidence obtained unlawfully or delay proceedings when rights are breached. Common Charter-based defences include unreasonable search, detention, or failure to provide timely trial access under Section 11(b).
If the matter proceeds to trial, we present a full defence focused on reasonable doubt and procedural fairness. Should sentencing follow, we work to mitigate penalties. We also act as appeal lawyers in cases involving errors of law or misapplication of Charter rights.

Read MoreEvery person accused of a crime has guaranteed rights under the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

Richard Fedorowicz vigorously enforces these rights by filing timely pre-trial motions, requesting evidence exclusion, and defending against unreasonable delays and improper procedures.
When your liberty is at risk, choosing the right criminal lawyer can make a critical difference. Fedorowicz Law brings experience, precision, and determination to every case. Below are the key reasons why clients across Burlington and surrounding areas trust us with their defence.
Richard Fedorowicz has spent over two decades in Ontario’s busiest courtrooms defending clients charged with serious criminal offences. He has successfully represented individuals facing complex indictable offences, including homicide, large-scale drug trafficking, and sexual assault. With extensive trial experience, he understands courtroom dynamics, Crown prosecutor tactics, and how to use both to your advantage.
A critical part of our strategy involves identifying Charter violations, such as illegal searches, arbitrary detentions, and denial of counsel. We frequently file pre-trial motions to exclude evidence under Section 8, Section 9, or Section 10(b) of the Charter. If police overstep legal boundaries, we take immediate action to challenge the admissibility of their evidence and protect your constitutional rights.
From the moment of arrest, through bail hearings, disclosure review, and all court appearances, Fedorowicz Law provides end-to-end support. We tailor strategies for each phase—negotiating release terms at the bail hearing, filing pre-trial motions, and constructing a compelling courtroom defence. If a trial ends in conviction, we evaluate appeal options and sentencing mitigation.
Richard Fedorowicz has secured not guilty verdicts, charge withdrawals, and case dismissals across a wide range of charges. In many instances, our proactive approach to disclosure, early Charter applications, or negotiations with the Crown have led to resolution without the need for trial. Past successes include overturning charges due to breaches of Section 11(b), improper disclosure, or flawed police procedures.
