Drug and Substance Abuse

Do you know your rights? We do!

These types of charges come with harsh penalties—our drug crime lawyers will ensure you know how to proceed.

Youth Offences

Young people are treated quite differently than adults by the criminal justice system. This is because it is understood that young people lack the experience and judgment of adults; they are not fully mature and have not yet developed their adult identities. As a general rule, they make more mistakes and are more easily rehabilitated than adults.

Testimonials

The law is something most of us are not familiar with, so it was much appreciated that Michael presented in a manner that common people can understand, and is clear and generally to the point.

— Kristin S.

I met Michael on my way into court. I was scared and didn’t know what to do. I had no lawyer and I didn’t know what I was going to say when I got in there. If it wasn’t for Michael standing up for me and helping me through this process, I don’t think my outcome would have been the same!
