Criminal Defiance + Quasi-Criminal + Regulatory Representation

The VK Law Group Criminal Defense team provides focused and fearless advocacy for individuals and organizations facing criminal, quasi-criminal, and regulatory charges. We defend our clients at every stage of the process—from investigation and bail hearings to trials, sentencing, and appeals. Our representation spans the Ontario Court of Justice, Superior Court of Justice, and various regulatory and administrative tribunals across Ontario.

We represent clients charged with a full range of offences, including Criminal Code violations, provincial offences, regulatory non-compliance, and professional misconduct. Our team is committed to protecting the rights of the accused, ensuring due process, and achieving the best possible outcomes through strategic, responsive, and confidential legal representation.

 

Practice Focus

Our Criminal Defence team focuses on the following areas:

Criminal Code Offences: Defending clients against charges including assault, theft, fraud, impaired driving, domestic violence, drug offences, and weapons-related allegations.

 

Bail Hearings and Judicial Interim Release: Representing clients in bail proceedings, bail reviews, and contested hearings to secure timely release with appropriate conditions.

 

Quasi-Criminal and Provincial Offences: Advocating in matters under the Highway Traffic Act, Environmental Protection Act, Occupational Health and Safety Act, and other provincial statutes.

 

Regulatory and Administrative Defence: Representing professionals and businesses in investigations, disciplinary proceedings, and compliance enforcement before regulatory bodies.

 

Charter Applications and Constitutional Challenges: Litigating violations of Charter rights, including unlawful search and seizure, arbitrary detention, and unreasonable delay.

 

Representative Legal Matters

Our recent criminal and regulatory law highlights include:

• Securing a withdrawal of charges in a high-profile fraud case following successful resolution discussions and evidentiary challenges.

• Representing a professional in regulatory disciplinary proceedings before a licensing body, resulting in a negotiated resolution with no finding of misconduct.

• Obtaining judicial interim release for a client charged with serious firearms offences, including successful argument against Crown objections.

• Defending a small business owner charged with provincial offences under the Occupational Health and Safety Act, leading to a dismissal of charges after trial.

• Preparing and advancing a Charter application challenging an unlawful search in a narcotics prosecution, resulting in the exclusion of key evidence.
