Common Questions
Criminal law questions Pickering clients often ask.
Can Pickering clients commute normally after being charged?
It depends on licence status, release terms, court dates, and work requirements. Review the documents before assuming.

Maybe, but release conditions, court dates, immigration status, and destination rules should be reviewed first.
