    Assault & Violent Crimes

    Fedorowicz Law defends all types of assault charges, including aggravated assault, domestic assault, and assault with a weapon.

    Drug Offences

    Whether you are charged with possession, trafficking, or production, drug-related charges require a strategic approach. Fedorowicz Law builds defences based on search legality, evidence handling, and rights under Section 8 of the Charter (unreasonable search and seizure). Every defence attorney effort aims to mitigate penalties or seek case dismissal.

    DUI / Impaired Driving

    Ontario’s DUI laws impose strict penalties, including licence suspension and criminal conviction. As an experienced DUI lawyer, Richard Fedorowicz challenges the validity of roadside tests and breathalyzer results. Defence strategies often centre on timing of arrest, proper police procedures, and Charter rights breaches, especially related to impaired driving accusations.

    Sexual Offences

Protection of Charter rights, especially during bail hearings and pre-trial detention, is a priority.

    Firearms and Weapons Charges

    Gun and weapon charges in Ontario carry mandatory minimums under the Canadian Firearms Act. Defence efforts often involve violations of Section 8 of the Charter and unlawful searches. Fedorowicz Law has the experience to challenge police conduct, licensing issues, and possession allegations in court.

    Legal Process in Whitby Criminal Cases

    Understanding how a criminal case proceeds is critical. Fedorowicz Law guides clients through every stage, from arrest to trial, while using procedural opportunities to challenge the prosecution.

    Arrest and Bail Hearing

    The first hours after arrest are critical. You have the right to remain silent and the right to counsel, as protected under Section 10(b) of the Charter. Fedorowicz Law ensures you receive a fair bail hearing, seeking your release and fighting against arbitrary detention under Section 9 of the Charter.

    Disclosure and Evidence Review

    Crown disclosure is the backbone of any defence. Fedorowicz Law thoroughly reviews police notes, surveillance, and witness statements. If the Crown delays or fails to provide key materials, we may challenge the prosecution based on Section 11(b) of the Charter (trial within a reasonable time).

    Pre-Trial Motions and Charter Challenges

    Richard Fedorowicz frequently files pre-trial motions to exclude unlawfully obtained evidence, suppress confessions, or dismiss charges entirely. These motions rely heavily on Charter of Rights and Freedoms protections and have led to numerous charge withdrawals and not guilty verdicts.

    Trial, Sentencing & Appeals

    If your case proceeds to trial, Fedorowicz Law provides assertive courtroom defence. Strategies include cross-examination, presenting reasonable doubt, and appealing unjust outcomes. As an appeal lawyer, Richard Fedorowicz is prepared to escalate your case when necessary for a fair outcome.
