CITIZENS OF THE UNITED STATES
With our office so close to the Canada-US border, we represent many clients that find themselves with legal troubles upon entering Canada, namely, criminal charges.
Although getting arrested abroad can be avoided by being sensible, and more importantly, researching the differences between US and Canadian law, committing crimes in a foreign country isn't really all that uncommon. Even if you're the most law abiding citizen back home, a little drunken revelry or a misunderstanding of the law while in Canada, could land you in jail.
It's important to know your legal rights.
Our team can handle your legal matter without you having to be present in court, in Canada.
If you're arrested in Canada, give us a call and let our team assist you.
