    Assault & Violent Crimes

    Fedorowicz defends a wide range of violent offences including domestic assault, aggravated assault, and uttering threats. These charges carry serious penalties and long-term consequences. His legal strategies often involve examining self-defence claims, witness credibility, and breaches under Section 8 of the Charter concerning unlawful search or evidence seizure.

    From simple possession to large-scale trafficking, drug-related charges are vigorously prosecuted. Fedorowicz uses his expertise as a defence attorney to challenge search warrants, evidence handling, and detainment procedures, particularly where violations of Section 9 of the Charter may apply. This meticulous attention often results in charge withdrawal or dismissal.

    Impaired Driving Icon

    DUI / Impaired Driving

    Ontario’s impaired driving laws are strict, but defences do exist. As a seasoned DUI lawyer, Richard Fedorowicz challenges improper breathalyzer procedures, roadside testing protocols, and the timing of arrests. He ensures clients are aware of their right to remain silent and their Section 10(b) Charter right to counsel, protecting their legal standing from the outset.

    Sexual Offences

    Defending sexual assault charges requires discretion, care, and legal precision. Fedorowicz Law examines all available evidence, including digital communications and forensic reports, while safeguarding the accused’s Charter Rights, including bail hearing fairness and privacy protections.

    Theft, Fraud, and Financial Crimes

    White-collar cases such as identity theft, embezzlement, and wire fraud are often built on complex paper trails. Richard Fedorowicz’s legal team scrutinizes every element to uncover investigative flaws. Clients facing fraud and financial crimes benefit from his experience in defending against both regulatory and criminal prosecution.

    Arrest and Bail Hearing

    An early bail hearing is critical to prevent prolonged detention. Richard assists clients in securing bail through strong submissions and surety planning. Arrests are closely reviewed for Charter breaches under Section 9.

    Disclosure and Evidence Review

    Every case begins with disclosure of evidence by the Crown. Richard analyses disclosure for inconsistencies, missing information, or unlawful acquisition, positioning the case for pre-trial motions or early resolution.

    Pre-Trial Motions and Charter Challenges

    Motions to exclude unlawfully obtained evidence are a powerful tool. Richard frequently argues Charter of Rights and Freedoms violations, including lack of access to counsel (Section 10(b)) or unreasonable delays (Section 11(b)). These can lead to charge withdrawal or a not guilty verdict before trial begins.

    Trial, Sentencing & Appeals

    Fedorowicz represents clients through the full criminal trial process, advocating for acquittals or reduced charges. If convicted, he pushes for lenient sentencing and explores appeal opportunities as an experienced appeal lawyer.

    Your Rights Under the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms

    Fedorowicz Law is committed to upholding your constitutional rights at every stage of the criminal justice process. Every Canadian is entitled to fundamental protections under the Charter of Rights and Freedoms—and violations of these rights can directly impact the outcome of your case.
    If you’re arrested, you have the right to remain silent and the right to retain and instruct counsel without delay (Section 10(b)). If evidence against you was gathered through an illegal search or seizure, it can often be excluded under Section 8. Unreasonable detention or delays may violate Section 9 and Section 11(b) respectively—grounds for a case dismissal. Fedorowicz Law uses these legal mechanisms to hold the prosecution accountable and build stronger defences.
