Crimes of dishonesty/
Property offences
Property offences may also be known as crimes of dishonesty. Theft, fraud, robbery, and break and enter are all examples of such. Although the penalties upon a conviction of any of these charges can range greatly, from a discharge to a term of imprisonment, any conviction of a crime of dishonesty can significantly impact your future and restrict your employment and travel. If the theft involves a breach of trust like a theft from an employer, your future employment prospects may be greatly impacted. A conviction for these offences can seriously impact your reputation and standing in the community. It is essential to consult with our experienced team, who have extensive knowledge in this area of law and strong history of successfully defending clients facing similar charges.

In Canada, controlled substances are regulated by the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act (“CDSA”). It includes all minor and major drug offences, including simple possession, possession for the purpose of trafficking, and the importation of controlled substances.
Narcotic offences or drug charges are a very intricate area of the law. It is a highly litigious and an evolving area of the law that requires lawyers to be well-versed in latest jurisprudence involving the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. For instance, many cases will hinge on police actions, including whether they have the requisite grounds for a stop and search, search and seizures without a warrant, search and seizures pursuant to a warrant and other sophisticated police investigative techniques. At Gill + Gill, we are experienced and trained in spotting Charter violations and will pursue and seek every avenue for a legal remedy.
