    Your Trusted Criminal Defence Lawyer in Mississauga

    At Fedorowicz Law, we are dedicated to protecting your future. As a criminal defence lawyer who has handled complex indictable offences and summary offences, Richard Fedorowicz offers skilled legal advocacy rooted in ethics, experience, and results. We fight for justice in every courtroom and every legal stage — with a focus on suppressing unlawful evidence, negotiating favourable resolutions, and securing charge dismissals or not guilty verdicts wherever possible.

    Full-Service Criminal Defence for All Charges

    seprator-white

    We defend clients facing a wide range of criminal allegations in Mississauga. Whether you are charged with a violent offence, impaired driving, or a firearms violation, our defence strategy is clear, calculated, and client-focused. Richard Fedorowicz applies over two decades of experience to navigate the full criminal trial process and secure the best outcomes possible.

    Robbery and Voilence Icon

    Assault & Violent Crimes

    We defend clients charged with assault, aggravated assault, assault with a weapon, domestic violence, and other violent crimes. Assault charges can result in serious penalties — including a criminal record, jail time, and restrictions on employment or travel. Fedorowicz Law builds strong cases by identifying inconsistencies in witness testimony, asserting self-defence where appropriate, and applying Charter-based defences when police conduct has been unlawful.

    Drug Offense Icon

    Drug Offences

    We represent clients charged with drug trafficking, possession for the purpose of trafficking, drug production, and simple possession. Drug offences carry severe penalties under the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act. We examine how evidence was gathered — challenging unlawful searches under Section 8 of the Charter — and look for technical errors or breaches of rights that may lead to charge withdrawal or exclusion of evidence.

    Impaired Driving Icon

    DUI / Impaired Driving

    Ontario’s impaired driving laws are among the strictest in Canada. As a skilled DUI lawyer, Richard Fedorowicz defends charges involving alcohol and drug impairment, refusing breath samples, and over 80 offences. We review whether your rights under Section 10(b) of the Charter — the right to counsel — were violated and whether police procedures met legal standards. Impaired driving charges can lead to licence suspension, fines, and criminal records, but strong legal defence may prevent those outcomes.

    Sexual Offences

    We handle complex and highly sensitive cases including sexual assault, sexual interference, and internet-based sexual offences. As a sexual assault lawyer, Richard Fedorowicz approaches every case with confidentiality and care, while aggressively defending against wrongful allegations. Charter protections, including the right to silence and protection from unreasonable search, are often central to these defences.

    Theft, Fraud, and Financial Crimes

    Fedorowicz Law defends clients against financial crime charges such as identity theft, wire fraud, forgery, and embezzlement. Their approach includes a thorough review of disclosure documents, challenging the prosecution’s evidence, and using expert testimony when necessary.

    Firearms Icon

    Firearms and Weapons Charges

    Charges involving firearms or prohibited weapons often carry mandatory minimum penalties. We defend against unlawful possession, unsafe storage, trafficking, and other violations under the Criminal Code and Canadian Firearms Act. A strong defence may involve Charter arguments — particularly under Section 8 — when weapons were discovered during an illegal search.

    Legal Process in Mississauga Criminal Cases

    Understanding the legal stages is critical. Fedorowicz Law supports you at every step — from arrest to appeal — providing clear guidance and courtroom strategy tailored to your situation.

    Arrest and Bail Hearing

    If you are arrested in Mississauga, you have the right to remain silent and the right to counsel under Section 10(b) of the Charter. A prompt bail hearing is vital. We fight for your release using conditions that support your freedom while awaiting trial. We also advise on the best way to present a strong release plan to the court.

    Disclosure and Evidence Review

    Crown disclosure includes all evidence they intend to rely on. Our defence team reviews the disclosure in detail, identifying any missing or inconsistent information. This step often uncovers legal issues that can support pre-trial motions or lead to a charge withdrawal.

    Pre-Trial Motions and Charter Challenges

    We file legal motions to exclude unlawfully obtained evidence or seek other remedies for Charter violations. Examples include breaches of Section 8 (unreasonable search and seizure), Section 9 (arbitrary detention), Section 10(b) (denial of access to counsel), and Section 11(b) (unreasonable trial delay). These motions are crucial tools in weakening the Crown’s case.

    Trial, Sentencing & Appeals

    At trial, our focus is on creating reasonable doubt through cross-examination, expert evidence, and legal argument. If convicted, we advocate for lenient sentencing or alternatives to custody. As an appeal lawyer, Richard Fedorowicz also handles cases where legal errors have occurred during the original trial process.

    Your Rights Under the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms

    Your rights as an accused person are fundamental. At Fedorowicz Law, we ensure your rights are respected from the moment of arrest.

    What are my rights if I’m arrested?
    You have the right to remain silent, the right to speak to a lawyer, and the right to be free from arbitrary detention. You also have the right to a trial within a reasonable time.

    We aggressively enforce those rights and challenge any violations. Charter-based defences often lead to suppression of evidence or full case dismissal.

    Our commitment to your defence goes beyond basic representation. We offer comprehensive, strategic advocacy built on experience and integrity.

    Criminal Law Mastery Backed by 20+ Years in Ontario Courts

    Richard Fedorowicz has tried serious criminal cases across the province — from summary offences to high-level indictable charges. He has defended clients at the Ontario Court of Justice and Superior Court, achieving strong outcomes in trials, sentencing, and pre-trial litigation.

    Charter-Driven Defences to Suppress Illegally Obtained Evidence

    Illegal searches, arbitrary detentions, or denial of counsel access can be used to challenge the Crown’s case. We rely on legal motions to enforce Charter protections, often leading to key evidence being excluded. These arguments have been pivotal in drug, firearms, and sexual offence cases.

    Strategic Defence from Arrest to Sentencing

    Every stage of the criminal process requires tailored legal strategies. From fighting for bail and demanding complete disclosure to building a strong trial record — we handle it all. Richard is involved from day one, ensuring nothing is missed that could impact your freedom.

    Track Record of Charge Dismissals, Reductions & Acquittals

    Our case history includes successful outcomes like charge withdrawal, not guilty verdicts, and reduced sentences. Many of these results stem from unreasonable delay motions (Section 11(b)), weak evidence, or unlawful police conduct. These successes reflect both our preparation and our commitment to client rights.
