Condo, rental, and business issues
We assess ownership, possession, access rights, consent, prior condition, lawful excuse, and whether the loss is supported.

Common Questions
Mischief charge questions North York clients often ask.
Can condo access logs help a mischief case?
They may. Access records can help with timing, opportunity, location, and whether the allegation fits the evidence.
Can I talk to a property manager about the allegation?
Get legal advice first. Conditions, strategy, and possible statements may affect whether contact is appropriate.
What if several cameras captured different parts of the incident?
The clips should be reviewed together with police notes, witness accounts, and repair records.
