At Fedorowicz Law, we fight to protect your freedom, reputation, and future. Our approach is built on decades of legal mastery, a commitment to justice, and personal dedication to every case. Richard Fedorowicz is not only a veteran criminal defence lawyer — he is known for his ethical advocacy, strong legal strategies, and unwavering protection of your rights under the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. From bail hearings to trial and appeal, every case receives customized defence tailored to its legal complexity.
We provide legal defence for all summary offences and indictable offences in Vaughan and throughout Ontario. Whether you are facing violent crime allegations or financial crime charges, Fedorowicz Law ensures complete defence coverage. Every case begins with early intervention, review of the disclosure of evidence, and careful planning of legal motions. Our goal is to reduce or dismiss charges whenever legally possible.
We defend clients against all levels of assault charges, including simple assault, assault with a weapon, and aggravated assault. These charges carry severe penalties, such as imprisonment and a permanent criminal record. Defence strategies often involve self-defence claims, challenging identification, or arguing lack of intent. We aim to demonstrate reasonable doubt in every element of the Crown’s case.
Our legal team handles possession, trafficking, production, and importation cases involving controlled substances. Drug offences are prosecuted seriously under Canadian law, and often involve Charter challenges to illegal search and seizure. Under Section 8 of the Charter, we regularly argue for the exclusion of evidence obtained unlawfully. We also assess police conduct for breaches of Section 9 (arbitrary detention) and Section 10(b) (right to counsel).
Driving under the influence is a criminal charge with significant consequences, including license suspension, fines, and jail time. As a DUI lawyer, Richard Fedorowicz defends clients charged with impaired driving, over 80, and refusal to provide a breath sample. Defences include unlawful traffic stops, rights violations under the Charter, and unreliable testing procedures. A strong legal defence can mean avoiding a criminal record.
Facing a sexual offence charge is legally and personally devastating. We offer discreet, thorough defence in cases of sexual assault, exploitation, and related allegations. As an experienced sexual assault lawyer, Richard ensures that clients’ rights to bail, fair trial, and proper disclosure are upheld. We challenge inconsistent witness statements, reliability of testimony, and examine potential rights violations.
We defend a wide range of fraud and financial crimes, including identity theft, wire fraud, embezzlement, and misappropriation of funds. Our legal strategies focus on evidence analysis, intent, and transaction records. Many of these cases involve complex financial data, and we work with forensic accountants where needed. Outcomes can include complete charge withdrawal, resolution without conviction, or acquittal at trial.
Charges related to firearms often carry mandatory minimum sentences. These include unlawful possession, improper storage, and use of weapon in commission of an offence. Fedorowicz Law reviews the legality of police searches under Section 8, challenges Crown disclosure, and files pre-trial motions where rights are violated. Our goal is to avoid conviction and long-term consequences.
Criminal cases in Vaughan follow a clear process. We guide clients from the initial arrest through to trial and beyond. Understanding this process helps you stay prepared and informed.
The legal process begins with arrest. At this stage, it is crucial to assert your right to remain silent and request a lawyer. Bail hearings determine whether you can await trial outside of custody. Our team works to secure release on favourable terms, highlighting stable community ties and minimal risk.
Crown prosecutors are required to provide full disclosure of evidence. We review this material thoroughly to find inconsistencies, errors, or grounds for pre-trial motions. Delays in disclosure can also trigger Section 11(b) arguments regarding your right to a trial within a reasonable time.
Pre-trial motions allow us to challenge unlawful actions by police or the Crown. This includes suppression of evidence under Section 8, challenging arbitrary detention under Section 9, and denial of legal counsel access under Section 10(b). These motions often lead to case dismissals or exclusion of critical evidence.
If a case proceeds to trial, we prepare to defend against all Crown evidence, cross-examine witnesses, and present expert testimony. If convicted, we advocate for the most lenient sentence possible. We also act as appeal lawyers in cases involving legal errors or unreasonable verdicts.
