Drug Offences

Drug offences are some of the most serious criminal charges a person can face. Even for minor drug offences, a conviction is detrimental to your future and can affect where you travel and work.

When you are facing a drug charge, your defence counsel must be able to diligently defend you. Cynthia Fromstein Barristers are astute criminal law counsel in Toronto with the experience and detailed knowledge of your Canadian Charter rights that you need.

Criminal Defence Counsel For Drug Offences

The Controlled Drugs and Substances Act lays out drug offences in Canada as well as penalties upon conviction. The offences cover all aspects of the drug trade, including:

• Possession and cultivation
• Trafficking and importing

Each offence has specific elements that the Crown must prove in order to convict. The role of criminal defence counsel is to weaken the Crown's case through a detailed examination of the evidence and thorough cross-examination of witnesses and application of potential Charter defences. The criminal defence lawyers at Cynthia Fromstein Barristers have the necessary skill to defend clients charged with drug crimes.

Ms. Fromstein has represented clients in Toronto, Newmarket and the surrounding regions on all levels of narcotic defences and conspiracies. Her reported decision for her winning Charter defence on charges of possession for the purpose of trafficking in heroin is a noteworthy example of her skill.

Mr. Connally has specific experience with drug charges and has been a successful advocate for clients charged with drug offences. He is often consulted by other members of the defence bar regarding issues of entrapment and has succeeded in convincing the Crown Attorney to withdraw charges as serious as trafficking in heroin.
