Our Practice Areas
Bail Hearing
A bail hearing is one of the first and most important steps of a criminal case, and it occurs shortly after your arrest. Itโs held to determine if youโll remain incarcerated, or youโll be released, for the time leading up to your trial. One of the most critical parts of any bail hearing is your surety, as they guarantee the court that upon release, the defendant will adhere to all the bail conditions and that theyโll attend court as required. A successful bail hearing gains you some freedom and makes it easier to coordinate with your criminal defence lawyers.
At Zamani Law, we understand that you can never regain lost liberty. This is why we utilize our years of experience and criminal law expertise to prepare the defendant and surety for a bail hearing. Contact our Brantford criminal defence lawyers for exceptional legal counsel.
Domestic Violence
Domestic violence comprises any assault that occurs within a domestic relationship, for example, between a boyfriend and girlfriend. Due to the relationship between the plaintiff and the defendant, domestic violence cases are quite complex, which is why theyโre treated differently compared to other assault allegations. However, upon conviction, one ends up facing the same severe consequences of assault charges, including criminal records and lengthy jail sentences. Therefore, when charged with domestic assault, one should retain an experienced criminal defence lawyer to protect their rights and liberties.
At Zamani Law, we have extensive experience successfully defending clients charged with domestic violence. Our lawyers are well-versed with such assault charges, and theyโre determined to achieve the best possible results in every case. Call us for a free assessment of your case.
Youth Offences
Youths and adults are treated very defiantly by the criminal justice system. Young offenders are investigated and prosecuted under the Youth Criminal Justice Act (YCJA), which offers them extra protection and pushes for their rehabilitation rather than deterrence and punishment. Even with the additional protection provided by the YCJA, youth offences still pose severe repercussions, including a criminal record and possible incarceration. Having a criminal record as a youth can derail the rest of your life.
Zamani Law is well-versed with the YCJA, and our lawyers have represented numerous youths facing criminal charges. We strive to ensure that young offenders do not end up with a criminal record by fighting the charges and negotiating alternative measures. If your child or someone you know is charged with a youth offence, contact our Brantford criminal defence lawyers for exceptional legal representation.
Driving Offences & DUI
Driving offences, including refusing a breathalyzer, careless driving, driving while suspended, and impaired driving, are serious criminal offences with long-term penalties. Some of the consequences one may face upon a driving violation conviction include fines, increased insurance premiums, jail sentences, license suspension, and possible incarceration. Therefore, it is with good reason that you should seek legal advice when facing driving allegations.
Our Oakville criminal defence lawyers have a proven track record of successfully defending clients against driving offence charges. They review the charges and devise the best defence to attain favourable results. If you are facing a driving-related offence, contact us to talk with one of our experienced lawyers.
Drug Crimes
Drug offences are among the most severe charges prosecuted in Canada. According to the Controlled Drugs and Substance Act, drug charges can be laid against you due to possession, trafficking, importation, or production of controlled drugs and substances. A conviction for a drug offence, even possession of small amounts of drugs, carries devastating consequences, including lengthy jail sentences and travel restrictions.
With the legalization of marijuana, drug laws are changing and getting more complicated. Luckily, our lawyers stay updated with all the developments, which benefits our clients. With our expertise and years of experience successfully defending persons charged with drug crimes, we can handle any allegations to attain the best possible results. If you or your loved one require expert legal advice, call our Brantford criminal defence lawyers.
Assault & Threats
The Canadian Criminal Code defines assault as the intentional application of force on another person, either directly or indirectly, without their consent. Assault encompasses aggravated assault, simple assault, and assault causing bodily harm. Threats can also be regarded as assault if the actions or words indicate an imminent use of force on another person. Assault and threat charges have dire repercussions, including incarceration and criminal records, which impact the rest of your life. To alleviate the charges against you or get them withdrawn, retain an experienced criminal defence lawyer.
At Zamani Law, we have successfully defended many clients facing assault & threat allegations.

Some gun offences include possession of unregistered firearms, carrying a concealed firearm, illegal use of a gun, and possession of restricted firearms and ammunition.

According to the Criminal Code of Canada, theft and fraud encompass any acts of acquiring or trying to obtain public or private property through devious methods.

Human Trafficking
According to the Canadian Criminal Code, human trafficking charges can be laid against you if you recruit, transport, receive, harbour, or conceal another person.

Sexual assault charges encompass unsolicited sexual acts, such as forced kissing, touching, and forced intercourse.

Robbery
Robbery entails the use of, or threats to use, force or violence to take or try to take another personโs property.

Therefore, if you are charged with robbery, get a highly experienced criminal defence lawyer to fight the allegations and obtain a favourable outcome.
Mischief
Mischief charges can result if you willfully destroy or damage property, or render it useless, inoperative, ineffective or dangerous, or interfere with its lawful use. Mischief charges are many, each carrying different punishments depending on the type and value of the property destroyed. For example, a conviction for an indictment charge carries a maximum of 2 years in prison for offences under $5000.
