I DO NOT WANT TO GO TO TRIAL. WHAT HAPPENS IF I PLEAD GUILTY?
Pleading guilty or being convicted after trial usually results in a criminal record. Me Benoît can save you this situation, if at all possible in your case. He will negotiate with the Crown to withdraw some or all of the charges. If necessary, he will negotiate the best possible sentence for you, considering the specificities of your situation. Exoneration will save you from having a criminal record.

WHAT IS THE IMPACT OF HAVING A CRIMINAL RECORD?
Huge. For example, you may not be able to travel to certain countries or hold some jobs. Maybe these consequences do not seem too restrictive to you now, but you never know what opportunities the future holds, and will not want to miss them. You might be able to get an exoneration. Do not take the situation lightly. Contact Me Benoît!

WHAT ARE MY CHANCES OF AVOIDING TRIAL?
95% of criminal charges are settled through negotiation. The parties can negotiate the charges or the sentences and then come to an agreement they propose to the court. Through this process, Me Benoît can obtain the total or partial withdrawal of the charges, or the application of a sentence that satisfies both parties. He is experienced in these negotiations and, with our great knowledge of criminal law, he will make sure we get the best possible result.
