Bail Hearing
A bail hearing is one of the most significant initial stages of any criminal case. If you are charged with a criminal offence and are awaiting a bail hearing, you and your surety must be well prepared for a successful hearing. If youโre released pending trial (Judicial Interim Release), youโll have the opportunity to join and participate in relevant programs and to work closely with your attorneys without any limitations. If your bail hearing fails, your criminal case may be adversely affected.
Therefore, itโs paramount to enlist the services of an experienced criminal defence lawyer to secure your release pending the hearing of your case. Zamani Law has helped many clients attain a successful bail hearing and deal with other bail matters such as bail review and bail variations. Contact us today for a free assessment of your case.
Domestic Violence
Domestic Violence
Domestic violence charges are quite frustrating and complicated, and upon conviction, you can lose a lot, including your family. Although domestic violence is classified under assault in the Criminal Code of Canada, the cases are prosecuted differently than other types of assault charges. Due to the significant repercussions that one may face if convicted, itโs vital to retain a highly experienced domestic assault defence lawyer to protect your rights.
Our criminal defence lawyers in Oshawa have vast experience representing clients facing simple, complex, and high profile domestic assault charges. No matter the complexity of your domestic violence charge, they can defend you and help you attain favourable results.
Youth Offences
Youth Offences
Young offenders (persons below the age of 18 years) receive special attention in the criminal justice system. This is why most youth offences are tried under the Youth Criminal Justice Act. The YCJA offers more protection to the interests and rights of youths and emphasizes the importance of rehabilitation and assimilation of young offenders into society.
Although the YCJA protects the rights of young offenders, one may end up facing severe consequences if convicted, including a permanent criminal record and incarceration. Therefore, itโs essential to have an experienced criminal defence lawyer by your side to fight for a reasonable outcome in your case. If your child or someone you know is being charged with a youth offence, contact our lawyers for exceptional legal counsel.
Driving Offences & DUI
Driving Offences & DUI
Driving offences include impaired driving, over 80, refusing a breathalyzer, dangerous driving, driving while suspended, and more. If charged with a driving offence, itโs vital to hire a highly-skilled criminal lawyer to represent you. This is because the repercussions you may face upon conviction are quite devastating, including driving license suspension, increased insurance premiums, and even incarceration.
Our criminal defence lawyers have successfully litigated many driving charges in Oshawa, helping clients secure the best possible results. If you or your loved one are charged with any driving offence, our lawyers are your best chance of a reasonable outcome. Contact us for a free, no-obligation consultation.
Drug Crimes
Drug Crimes
Drug charges are among the most serious criminal charges one can face in Canada. They encompass the importation, possession, trafficking, possession with intent to traffic or distribute, and production of controlled drugs and substances, among other offences. Convictions for drug crimes lead to long sentences, employment restrictions, and travel limits, among other life-changing consequences.
Zamani Law has helped many clients facing minor possession charges to serious importation charges avert severe consequences through innovative and meticulous defence strategies. If youโre facing any drug-related charges, get in touch with our criminal defence lawyers. Theyโll assess your case and protect your rights throughout the entire process.
Assault & Threats
Assault & Threats
Assault is the deliberate application of force on another person without their consent. According to the Criminal Code of Canada, there are various types of assault, including assault causing bodily harm, assault with a weapon, aggravated assault, and more. A threat, which includes deeds and actions that indicate an imminent use of force, can also be regarded as assault. Each type of assault carries significant penalties, especially the ones involving weapons. The Crown takes assault cases very seriously and aims to get the harshest penalties imposed.
To protect your rights and liberties, one should enlist the services of a highly qualified and experienced criminal defence lawyer. Zamani Law has exceptionally skilled lawyers who can defend you when facing assault and threat charges. Contact us for a free assessment of your case.
Weapon Charges
Weapon Charges
Firearm and related weapon crimes are serious criminal offences that can ruin the rest of your life if convicted. Some gun crimes include trafficking, importation and possession of firearms, illegal use of firearms, possession of restricted firearms and ammunition, carrying a concealed weapon, and more. Gun crimes and related offences have hefty penalties, including mandatory minimum sentences, particularly for repeat offences.
At Zamani Law, we have the experience, expertise, and resources required to take on even the most serious gun charges in Oshawa. Contact our skilled criminal defence lawyers, and theyโll work to ensure the best possible results in your case.
Theft & Fraud
Theft & Fraud
Theft and fraud entail the acquisition of property from an individual or the public through devious means. Fraud and theft offences are categorized into two, i.e., offences below $5,000 and offences above $5,000. Although the penalties imposed upon conviction are based on the sophistication of fraud or theft, each category poses onerous consequences. Even without jail time, a conviction makes it hard to find employment as it stains your character.
Zamani Law has experience representing clients facing fraud and theft charges in Oshawa. In every case, our team of lawyers and legal professionals work vigorously to attain the most suitable results, including withdrawal or reduction of your theft or fraud charges. Get in touch with our for a free initial consultation on your case.
Human Trafficking
Human Trafficking
You can face human trafficking allegations if you recruit, transport, receive, harbour, transfer, or conceal another person. If you exercise control or influence over another personโs movement for exploitation purposes, you can also face criminal charges. These charges carry heavy penalties, including minimum mandatory sentences, life sentences, and more. Therefore, itโs imperative that you hire a highly knowledgeable and experienced human trafficking lawyer in Oshawa to avert such repercussions.
Over the years, the lawyers at Zamani Law have successfully protected the rights and liberties of numerous clients facing human trafficking charges. If you, or someone you know, are in such a pickle, call our lawyers, and theyโll help you mitigate the accusations.
Sexual Assault
Sexual Assault
With the rise of sexual assault awareness, mainly through social media, the Criminal Justice System and the Crown are changing the prosecution and investigation of those accused of perpetrating sexual assault offences. The acts that amount to sexual assault include any unsolicited sexual deeds, such as touching, kissing, and rape. These charges have grave consequences, including the addition to the national and provincial sex offender registers, mandatory minimum sentences, and more.
When faced with such a complex and life-altering allegation, itโs indispensable to retain a highly experienced lawyer to defend your character and protect your rights. At Zamani Law, we are well-versed with the laws of evidence and can defend you against a sex assault charge. Contact us today for a free consultation with one of the lawyers.

Robbery
According to the Criminal Code of Canada, robbery is the use of force or threat to use force to take or attempt to take another personโs property. This can be from an individual on the street, a store, or a bank. Robbery offences have harsh penalties, including minimum mandatory sentences, particularly when the accused used a weapon or an imitation of one. With such considerable consequences on your life, itโs crucial to hire a skilled lawyer to fight for your rights when robbery allegations are laid against you.

FAQ
All persons accused of perpetrating a criminal offence are required by law to have legal representation. Therefore, if you are charged with a crime or are being investigated for supposed involvement in one, itโs indispensable that you get a lawyer. It may seem easier and safe to assume that the police will drop the charges if you tell them that youโre innocent, but this is rarely the case.
For example, if your partner accuses you of domestic assault after incurring an injury, the police will arrive at the scene and most definitely arrest you after seeing the injury. Even if, in reality, you didnโt assault your partner, and they only called the police out of anger, pleading innocent might not suffice. In such a situation, having an experienced criminal defence lawyer will help protect your rights and fight the charges against you.
Having a criminal defence lawyer, even when innocent, serves in your best interest. Contact us today, and weโll defend you against any criminal charges.
At Zamani law, we provide a free initial consultation to our clients. This first meeting is vital to your case as we get to gather all the necessary information about the charges youโre facing and identify possible defence strategies. We also collect your background information, including occupation, citizenship status, and level of education. Our team also reviews and explains the relevance of all the documents the police and court issued you.
The only way for us to achieve the best possible results is by having all the information surrounding the allegations and your honest recollection of the events leading to the criminal charges. This is why itโs important for you to provide all the relevant information as accurately as possible during the initial consultation.
