Our Approach
How We Defend Your Case
Call us immediately after an arrest or charge — day or night. We explain the process, the charges you are facing, and your realistic options.
If you are in custody, we act quickly to secure your release on reasonable bail conditions, minimizing time away from work and family.
We request and review all Crown disclosure — officer notes, witness statements, video, and forensic evidence — to identify every weakness in the case.
Where your rights were breached, we bring formal applications to exclude evidence obtained unlawfully.
We negotiate directly with the Crown, working toward a withdrawal, reduced charge, or resolution that avoids a criminal record wherever the evidence allows.
If a fair resolution isn't available, we take the matter to trial and rigorously test the Crown's case.
Charged in Scarborough? Every Hour Matters.
Early legal advice — before you speak to police, before your bail hearing — makes a real difference in the outcome of your case. Legal Solutions Law Firm is available 24/7 and your consultation is always free.

From My Experience: Scarborough Clients Underestimate How Much Early Advice Matters
The most common thing I hear from Scarborough clients right after an arrest is some version of, "I didn't know what to say, so I said everything." That instinct — to explain yourself to police — is almost always the wrong move, and it is one of the first things we address in every consultation.
The single biggest factor in how a criminal case turns out is often what happens in the first 24 to 48 hours — what was said to police, whether bail conditions were properly challenged, whether disclosure requests went out immediately. Waiting even a few days to get legal advice can mean losing opportunities that simply cannot be recovered later.
If you or someone you know has been charged with a criminal offence in Scarborough or elsewhere in Toronto, call us immediately — before you say anything further to police. The consultation is free and available 24/7: 416-274-2222.
