Frequently Ask Questions

Do I have the right to a criminal lawyer present with me during an interrogation?

There is no right to have a lawyer beside you when the police are questioning you about a criminal offence, but you do have the right to speak to a lawyer before any questioning or interrogation begins. Once you are in the interrogation room, the police have the power to question you for as long as they believe necessary without anyone there to help you. Anything you say to the police could be used as evidence against you, which is why your liberty could depend on speaking with an experienced criminal lawyer. 

Call us at 416-550-6554 to speak to Stephen before going to the police station and before in any way discussing the matter with the police. We know how to assess your specific situation and will train you on how to deal with particular police interrogation techniques that they will use to try and get you to answer their questions.

The police have contacted me and they want to speak to me because they suspect me of committing a criminal offence. What are my rights?

When the police contact you, it is not always clear if they are charging you with a criminal offence or investigating you. In either circumstance, it is important that you immediately obtain legal advice before speaking to the police. Anything you say to them will be used against you; there is no such thing as talking to the police off the record. By retaining The Criminal Law Team, we will discuss your predicament with you and speak to the officer to determine the extent of your jeopardy, and whether or not you should speak with the police. In rare circumstances where the police are only investigating, it may be advantageous for you to speak with them. However, it is crucial that you have the opportunity to discuss with us what if any involvement you may have had in the matter.

If the police have contacted you to speak with them, it is more important than ever that you assert your right to speak with an experienced criminal lawyer and call us immediately. Before you say or do anything, call Stephen directly at 416-550-6554 to discuss your situation.

I am charged with a sexual offence. How can you help?

The penalties and consequences for sexual offences can be severe, including lengthy prison sentences and registration as a sex offender. If you have been charged with a sexual offence, call The Criminal Law Team immediately. Stephen Hebscher has over 33 years of experience representing individuals charged with sexual offences, including sexual assault, sexual interference, child pornography and internet-related offences. Many of these cases come down to credibility, and we have many resources available to us that will greatly assist us in defending the charges against you. In the present political climate, where the presumption of innocence is being eroded with respect to sexual offences, it is all the more important that you have an experienced criminal defence lawyer on your side. Call us immediately at 416-550-6554 to discuss your case confidentially with Stephen

I've been arrested for a criminal offence. What are the chances that I will be released from the station?

The police have the power to release you directly from the station in many situations without going to court. However, whether they will release you will depend on many factors including the seriousness of the charges, your criminal record, and whether they believe you will show up to court if released. If the police choose not to release you, they will bring you to court for a bail hearing.

If you’ve been arrested or charged, it is most important that you speak to The Criminal Law Team, so that we can discuss your situation with you in great detail, speak to the officer to try to arrange for your release, and to ensure that you do not incriminate yourself. Call us day or night at 416-550-6554 to speak with Stephen immediately.

How much do your criminal lawyers charge?

Each case is unique, and the cost will depend on an assessment of your situation. Just as a mechanic would have to inspect your car before giving you a repair estimate, an experienced criminal lawyer needs to sit down with you and review your case in full detail before giving you a price. We need to understand the seriousness of the allegations and what your goals are, to determine what steps we need to take for your defence. We are usually able to give you an estimated range of price to represent you whether the matter is resolved before trial, or has to go to trial. If you’ve been charged with a criminal offence, or believe you may be charged, call us at 416-550-6554 for a free consultation with Stephen.

If you’ve been arrested or charged, it is most important that you speak to The Criminal Law Team, so that we can discuss your situation with you in great detail, speak to the officer to try to arrange for your release, and to ensure that you do not incriminate yourself. Call us day or night at 416-550-6554 to speak with Stephen immediately.

I have no defence, why do I need a lawyer?

If you’ve been charged with a criminal offence, it is important to have an experienced criminal lawyer representing you, even if you think you have no defence. If you call us, we have the expertise to determine what defences are available to you that you may not be aware of, whether your rights under the Charter of Rights and Freedoms were violated, and if there is anything in your personal circumstances, including mental health issues, that could be helpful to your defence. Even if we determine that you have no defence, we still may be able to obtain a result for you where you do not have a permanent criminal record. If you’ve been charged, call us at 416-550-6554 to discuss your case directly with Stephen.
