Serving Burlington from our Mississauga office. Office visits are by appointment only.
Distinguish the before and after condition
Identify when the property was last seen intact, when damage was noticed and what each photograph actually shows. Keep original files, earlier maintenance records and repair estimates already held. Do not reconstruct damage or enter a restricted place to create evidence. A dated record can help counsel identify what is known and what remains disputed.
Explain access and permission without assuming immunity
List who could access the property and any agreement about its use. Being a joint owner does not automatically rule out a mischief allegation. Keep texts or documents bearing on permission, but distinguish them from your interpretation of a conversation. Counsel can assess the alleged conduct and legal questions against the actual circumstances.
Keep repair arrangements separate from the defence
A wish to repair or pay for damage should be discussed alongside any contact, location or release restriction. Preserve estimates, invoices and correspondence without assuming that repair ends the charge. If essential work is needed, explain the practical issue to counsel; do not arrange access or approach another person in breach of an order.
Preparing for the first conversation
- Charge wording and all current restrictions.
- Original photographs with dates and what they can establish.
- Access and permission records concerning the shared property.
- Maintenance, estimate and repair records without altering originals.
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 a joint owner face a mischief allegation?
Joint ownership is not automatic immunity. The alleged conduct, permissions and applicable law need assessment.
Should damaged property be left untouched indefinitely?
Discuss evidence preservation and any practical repair need with counsel. Do not create new risks or breach an order to preserve or repair property.
Will paying for repairs remove the charge?
It does not automatically do so. Keep repair information available for advice and keep criminal obligations separate.
