Serving Burlington from our Mississauga office. Office visits are by appointment only.
Identify what police are asking you to do
Record who contacted you, the date, any proposed meeting and the words used to describe the request. Note whether charge papers or attendance directions were provided. Do not turn an uncertain recollection into a definite promise, deadline or charge. Tell counsel what you have already said or supplied so the discussion begins with an accurate account.
Separate the papers from assumptions about the search
List the documents and items you know were taken, and distinguish your own observations from information passed on by others. “Drug charges” can refer to different allegations; use the exact count if one has been supplied. Counsel can identify which missing records matter for reviewing the substance allegation, search evidence and connection to the accused.
Make the next request to counsel specific
Explain whether you need advice about a police request, a coming appearance or an existing charge. The first conversation may precede disclosure, so say clearly what is unknown. Keep current attendance and release directions separate from the effort to obtain records. Do not recreate seized material, alter messages or ask another person to coordinate an account.
Preparing for the first conversation
- Contact details, proposed time and exact nature of the police request.
- Any search, seizure, appearance or charge documents received.
- What you have already said or provided, including uncertain dates.
- Current court dates and restrictions, if any.
Keep the initial website enquiry brief. Do not upload or send sensitive documents through the form; arrange any document review directly with the firm.
You do not need every item before getting in touch. Mention any approaching court or response date.
Common questions
Can I ask for advice before I have disclosure?
Yes. Explain the current request and the papers you have. A full assessment of the evidence may require later records and separately agreed legal work.
Should I guess whether the allegation is possession or trafficking?
No. Use the wording on any charge papers and identify what remains unknown. Different counts need different evidence review.
Does contacting a lawyer change my court date?
No. Follow the current attendance directions unless they are properly changed. Confirm separately whether counsel has agreed to handle the appearance.
