Common Questions
Criminal law questions Oshawa clients often ask.
What should Oshawa clients check before the next court date?
Check the appearance instructions, release terms, disclosure status, and any conditions that affect work, school, or family.
Can school or work obligations change the court process?
They may affect scheduling or practical planning, but they do not remove court obligations. Get advice early.
Should I talk to police to clear things up?
Get legal advice first. A further statement can affect the defence even if you are trying to help.
