Bail Hearings
Bail Hearing
The first step after being arrested and charged with a criminal offence is often the bail hearing. This is a determination of whether youโll be released pending trial, and if so, under which conditions. As the first step of your criminal case, a successful outcome builds an excellent perception to the Crown and the public and makes it easier to coordinate with your attorneys.
Zamani law has successfully helped hundreds of persons charged with criminal offences secure their release on bail. We conduct a thorough review of your case to pinpoint any issues that could lead to bail denial and find reasonable solutions. To discuss your case, feel free to contact our Etobicoke criminal defence lawyers.
Domestic Violence
Domestic Violence
If youโre in a domestic relationship with another person, such as a common-law partner or spouse, and youโre charged with assault, itโs referred to as a domestic assault charge. Although, legally, domestic assault is not a separate charge, Ontario courts and Crown Attorneys treat such charges differently. Domestic violence cases are complex and pose serious repercussions.
Zamani law has experienced criminal defence lawyers in Etobicoke, well-versed in domestic assault litigations. They mount a strong defence to protect your rights throughout the case. If you or someone you know are facing domestic violence-related charges, contact Zamani law for exceptional legal representation.
Youth Offences
Youth Offences
When youths (persons below the age of 18 years) are charged with criminal offences, in most cases, theyโre treated differently from adults. Young offender cases are governed by the Youth Criminal Justice Act (YCJA). This act stipulates specific prosecution procedures for youths and provides further protection than the Criminal Code of Canada.
Although the YCJA provides certain limits on the investigation and prosecution of youth, the consequences of a conviction, including a record and incarceration, can be devastating. This is why itโs vital to seek legal counsel from a defence lawyer well-acquainted with the YCJA.
In Ontario, criminal driving offences include impaired driving, dangerous driving, over 80, refusal to provide a breath sample, driving while prohibited, and more.

With such serious consequences, one should seek legal representation from an experienced criminal defence lawyer in Etobicoke to protect their rights.

Weapon Charges
Trafficking weapons, importing weapons, possession of guns, carrying a concealed weapon, possession of a dangerous weapon, and reckless or illegal use of firearms are among the gun crimes in the Canadian Criminal Code.

Therefore, itโs indispensable to enlist the services of an experienced criminal defence lawyer.
