Common Questions for Sexual Offence Charges

How much does a lawyer in New Brunswick cost?

The cost depends on the complexity of your case. We offer consultations to discuss fees.

What should I do if I’m arrested in New Brunswick?

Remain silent and request a lawyer immediately. Anything you say can be used against you. At the same time, the police, in many cases, can continue to speak with you while you remain silent. Contact us for legal representation.

Can I be charged with sexual assault in New Brunswickif both parties were drinking?

Yes, consent must be voluntary and informed, and intoxication can affect a person's ability to legally consent. If the complainant was too impaired to consent, any sexual activity may be considered sexual assault, even if you were also drinking. Courts assess factors like the level of intoxication, communication, and power dynamics. If accused, consult a lawyer immediately to understand your legal options.

What if I am falsely accused?

False accusations happen, and we take them seriously. We gather evidence, cross-examine witnesses, and challenge the Crown's case.

How long does a criminal case take?

The timeline varies based on the severity of charges and court scheduling. We provide clear timelines after reviewing your case.

Can a criminal record affect my job or travel?

Yes. A criminal conviction can affect employment opportunities and may restrict international travel, including entry into the United States.

Can I represent myself in a criminal case?

Legally, you can represent yourself, but it is highly discouraged. The criminal justice system is complex, and prosecutors will have experience on their side. A lawyer can help protect your rights and maximize your chances of a favorable outcome.

What happens if I miss a court date?

Missing a court date can result in a bench warrant for your arrest. If you accidentally miss a court appearance, contact a lawyer immediately to take the right legal steps and minimize potential consequences.

What should I do if a warrant is issued for my arrest?

If you learn that a warrant has been issued for your arrest, do not ignore it. Contact a criminal lawyer in New Brunswick immediately. In many cases, we can arrange for you to turn yourself in under controlled conditions, avoiding unnecessary time in custody. We can also review the warrant for legal errors and start building your defense right away.

What is the difference between summary and indictable offences?
  • Summary offences are less serious, with lighter penalties (e.g., minor theft, mischief).
  • Indictable offences carry harsher penalties (e.g., sexual assault, major fraud).
Can I apply for bail if I’ve been charged with a serious crime?

Yes. After an arrest, you may have a bail hearing, where the court decides whether you can be released while awaiting trial. A criminal defence lawyer can argue for your release under reasonable conditions, helping you avoid unnecessary time in custody.

Do you offer free consultations?

Yes, we offer an initial case assessment to determine the best defense strategy for you.
