Fedorowicz Criminal Law provides defence for a wide range of criminal accusations. We handle all levels of criminal charges, ensuring legal representation that addresses specific legal standards for each offence.
We defend clients accused of assault charges, including common assault, assault with a weapon, and aggravated assault. These cases involve detailed evidence review and strategic argument to address injury, intent, and credibility issues that may affect outcomes.
Drug offences include possession, trafficking, production, and distribution. Defence begins with a thorough review of evidence and arrest procedures. If police actions violated Section 8 of the Charter (unreasonable search and seizure), key evidence may be challenged.
Impaired driving charges and related offences carry significant penalties under Ontario law. As a recognised DUI lawyer, Richard Fedorowicz examines stop procedures, breath tests, and detention practices. Violations of Section 9 of the Charter (arbitrary detention) or Section 10(b) of the Charter (right to counsel) can impact admissibility of evidence in court.
Allegations involving sexual conduct require careful handling. As a sexual assault lawyer, Richard reviews every aspect of Disclosure of evidence and procedural compliance to build a defence strategy that protects legal rights. Bail conditions in these cases can be strict and require precise legal argument.
Fraud and financial crimes encompass identity theft, wire fraud, embezzlement, and misappropriation of funds. Defence strategy in these matters involves detailed analysis of documentation, intent, and legal standards to challenge Crown positions.
Firearms and weapons offences under the Canadian Firearms Act include unlawful possession, prohibited weapons, and unsafe storage. These cases often require technical legal analysis of licensing compliance and investigative procedures.
Understanding the criminal process helps clients make informed decisions. Fedorowicz Criminal Law guides clients through each key stage.
When arrested, individuals have the right to remain silent and the right to counsel under Section 10(b) of the Charter (right to counsel). The bail hearing determines release while the case continues. Strong legal representation at this stage can secure bail with favourable conditions.
After charges are laid, the Crown prosecutor must provide full Disclosure of evidence including police reports, witness statements, and forensic results. Defence counsel examines this material for inconsistencies, procedural issues, and Charter breaches.
Pre-trial motions address issues such as evidence admissibility and Charter rights. Legal challenges may arise under Section 8 of the Charter (unreasonable search and seizure) or Section 9 of the Charter (arbitrary detention). Section 11(b) of the Charter (trial within a reasonable time) may be invoked where delays threaten unfair prejudice.
At trial, the Crown must prove guilt beyond reasonable doubt. Defence strategies focus on severing evidentiary gaps, protecting rights, and advancing legal arguments. Outcomes may include charge withdrawal, not guilty verdicts, or negotiated resolutions. When necessary, an appeal lawyer can pursue challenges at higher courts.

Read MoreEvery person accused of a crime has guaranteed rights under the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. These include the right to remain silent, to receive timely disclosure, to have legal counsel, and to a trial within a reasonable time. 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 Hamilton 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.
While based in Burlington, Fedorowicz Law also represents clients in Oakville, Milton, Hamilton, and Mississauga. Whether your charge arises in Halton Region or elsewhere in the GTA, we’re ready to defend your rights with experience, strategy, and commitment.
