Narcotics and Drug
Charge Lawyer Surrey

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.
