Being charged with a criminal offence can feel overwhelming. Your freedom, reputation, employment, immigration status, and future opportunities may all be at risk. You need a defence lawyer who understands the legal system, protects your rights, and builds a strong strategy from day one.
At Provenance Law, we defend clients facing a full range of criminal offences across Ontario — from minor summary matters to serious indictable charges. We challenge weak evidence, negotiate strategically with the Crown, and advocate for fair and just outcomes.
You are not alone. We stand with you from the moment charges are laid until your case is resolved.

No. Many resolve through negotiations, withdrawals, diversions, peace bonds, or conditional discharges.
It depends on disclosure, negotiations, and the complexity of your charges. Most cases take several months.
Disclosure is the evidence the Crown has against you — police notes, videos, statements, and reports.
A hybrid offence is one the Crown can choose to prosecute as summary (less serious) or indictable (more serious).
It depends on your bail conditions. We can request bail variations if needed.
