At Fedorowicz Law, We defend your future by delivering proven legal strategies tailored to your case. Here every client benefits from the focused attention of a criminal defence lawyer committed to upholding justice and achieving the best possible outcome. Whether you’re facing first-time charges or are dealing with complex indictable offences, we protect your rights through meticulous legal representation, ethical practice, and skilled advocacy.
Fedorowicz Law handles all levels of criminal allegations. From arrest to resolution, we provide expert guidance and representation across major categories, including:
Assault charges
Drug offences
Impaired driving
Sexual offences
Theft and financial crimes
Firearms and weapons violations
We take on both summary offences and indictable offences, offering complete support through every stage of the criminal trial process.
Assault charges in Ontario range from simple assault to aggravated assault, domestic assault, and assault with a weapon. These offences can result in a criminal record and jail time. Our approach includes examining the conduct of law enforcement, witness credibility, and applying Charter protections to challenge the case against you.
We defend clients against drug possession, trafficking, and production allegations. These cases often involve Charter violations, such as unlawful searches or stops. Using Section 8 of the Charter, we file pre-trial motions to exclude evidence obtained through unreasonable search and seizure. We assess the strength of the disclosure of evidence, challenging every point where legal error or overreach has occurred.
As a trusted DUI lawyer, Richard Fedorowicz defends clients facing impaired driving, “over 80,” and refusal to comply charges. Ontario DUI laws carry harsh penalties, including licence suspensions and criminal records. Using Section 10(b) of the Charter, we challenge breaches of your right to legal counsel and apply for case dismissal if the evidence was improperly obtained or your rights were violated.
Fedorowicz Law provides legal representation in cases involving sexual assault, sexual interference, and exploitation. These matters are highly sensitive, requiring a legal team experienced in protecting Charter rights and managing bail issues. As a sexual assault lawyer, Richard uses careful analysis of evidence and procedural safeguards to secure fair treatment and pursue a not guilty verdict where appropriate.
We handle a full range of fraud and financial crimes, including identity theft, wire fraud, credit card fraud, and misappropriation of funds. These cases often rely on complex evidence and timelines. We identify procedural errors, challenge financial documents, and push for charge withdrawal where the Crown’s case lacks clarity or legality.
Firearms charges can include possession without a licence, unsafe storage, or using a weapon during a crime. These cases frequently involve mandatory minimum sentences. Under the Canadian Firearms Act, and guided by Section 9 of the Charter, we challenge unlawful police stops and arbitrary detention. Our legal team files pre-trial motions to suppress unlawfully gathered evidence and defend your freedom.
Knowing the timeline and stages of your case is essential. We guide you through each step of the criminal trial process with clarity and consistent legal support.
An arrest initiates the process. We act quickly to prepare your bail hearing, aiming for your release with fair conditions. Early legal advice is critical for preserving your Charter rights and shaping a strong defence from the outset.
The Crown must provide full disclosure of evidence, including statements, exhibits, and reports. We carefully examine this material for inconsistencies or breaches of your rights. Missing or flawed disclosure can form the basis of pre-trial motions and strategic defence arguments.
We raise legal motions to exclude evidence where your rights were breached. These include Section 8: Unlawful search or seizure, Section 9: Arbitrary detention, and Section 10(b): Denial of access to a lawyer. Successful motions may lead to case dismissal or limit the Crown’s ability to proceed.
During trial, we cross-examine witnesses, challenge the Crown’s narrative, and highlight reasonable doubt. If convicted, we advocate for the lightest possible sentence and, if necessary, file appeals on legal or procedural grounds. As an experienced appeal lawyer, Richard Fedorowicz has pursued successful results across Ontario courts.

Right to remain silent
Right to legal counsel (Section 10(b))

Right to trial within a reasonable time (Section 11(b))
Fedorowicz Law uses these rights to build defences that can lead to charge withdrawal, reduced penalties, or full acquittals. If you’ve been arrested or charged, understanding your rights can directly affect the outcome of your case.

Richard Fedorowicz has built a career defending serious criminal charges across Toronto, York Region, and Ontario’s major courts. His experience includes hundreds of indictable offences, ranging from violent crime to complex white-collar cases. His understanding of trial procedure, Charter litigation, and legal precedent positions him as a trusted criminal defence lawyer.
We apply the Charter of Rights and Freedoms to contest unlawful police conduct. In many cases, we have excluded key evidence due to illegal vehicle stops, searches without warrants, or denial of counsel. These legal motions have led to multiple not guilty verdicts and case dismissals.
From arrest to trial, every decision we make is strategic. We negotiate terms at your bail hearing, demand full disclosure of evidence, and raise procedural challenges early. We prepare every case with trial-level detail to increase the likelihood of a favourable resolution.
Our results speak for themselves. Fedorowicz Law has achieved charge withdrawals, sentence reductions, and not guilty verdicts in cases involving drug offences, impaired driving, firearms charges, and more.
