Criminal Lawyers in Toronto

Aggressive Defense of Your Rights

If you or a loved one is about to be charged, or has recently been charged with a crime in the Greater Toronto Area, it is important that you seek out a criminal lawyer as quickly as possible so that you do not make an error in judgment by incriminating yourself with anything that you say or do. Make no mistake- not all criminal defence lawyers have the same skill level in the courtroom. The choice of your legal defence team is probably more important than the charges you are facing.

When an individual has been arrested or charged with a crime, the arresting officers will immediately try to get information about the crime from all parties involved, especially the accused. If you are a suspect in a criminal investigation, it is in your best interest to remain silent and seek the counsel of an experienced criminal lawyer. At your trial, the prosecution will almost always use anything you say against you in court, whether or not you believe, at the time, that it assists you. In any case, you will need a solid defence team fighting for your rights and guiding you through the entire process, one step at a time.

Our Lawyers, Bruce Karten and Stephen Hebscher, have a winning combination of over 65 years of criminal law experience and legal representation, with the vast majority of cases ending with the result of:

1. Charges being dismissed

3. Lesser sentence being imposed, usually on a less serious charge

Bruce Karten and Stephen Hebscher work as a team, assisting each other on their respective cases. As a result, when you hire one of them, you get over 65 years of criminal defence knowhow working exclusively for you.

Criminal defence lawyers Bruce Karten and Stephen Hebscher are recognized for their aggressive, professional strategies toward almost every kind of allegation of criminal wrongdoing. Our first step is to investigate the charges and evidence against you. There are often serious flaws in law enforcement procedures that can work in your favour.

Our legal team will work tirelessly to protect your rights at every stage of the criminal court process. We will also defend you before trial by negotiating with the prosecutors, many of whom we have had a working relationship with for decades. Where possible, such as when we can present a cogent argument that there is insufficient evidence to obtain a conviction, we will succeed in having your charges dropped.
