Proceeds of Crime

When you’re accused of dealing with “proceeds of crime,” the consequences can be immediate and overwhelming. Police can seize your cash, freeze your bank accounts, take your property, and initiate forfeiture proceedings before you even have a chance to defend yourself. With over 10 years of experience defending clients in Brampton, I know how aggressively these cases are pursued—and how critical it is to respond quickly and strategically.

If your assets have been seized or you’re under investigation, contact me right away for a confidential consultation. I will step in immediately to protect your rights and fight for the return of your property.

Proceeds of Crime investigations are highly technical. Police frequently rely on:

• Financial analysis and banking records
• Wiretaps and surveillance
• Suspicious transaction reports
• Asset tracing
• Search warrants targeting electronic devices
• Civil forfeiture units

These investigations often move quickly, and property can be seized before you are even aware that you’re under scrutiny. Early legal involvement is critical.

• Large amounts of cash are found during a traffic stop or search
• Unexplained wealth or deposits flagged by banks
• Vehicles or property suspected of being purchased with crime-related funds
• Money transfers between accounts that appear unusual
• Connections—real or perceived—to drug trafficking or fraud operations
• Cash seized during airport travel
• Funds frozen without prior notice

In many cases, the police interpretation does not reflect the full context of your financial situation, and that is where strategic defence becomes essential.

A Proceeds of Crime conviction can affect every part of your future:

• A permanent criminal record
• Travel restrictions
• Loss of employment opportunities
• Damage to reputation and credit
• Ineligibility for certain professions or licensing

My job is to minimize these consequences and push back against aggressive Crown forfeiture efforts.

Even without a criminal conviction, you may still face:

• Asset seizures
• Frozen bank accounts
• Forfeiture of vehicles, cash, real estate, or valuables
• Permanent loss of property under provincial civil forfeiture law

Civil forfeiture can move faster than a criminal prosecution, making immediate legal defence essential.

When your finances, freedom, and future are at stake, you need focused, strategic defence right away.

Every case requires a tailored defence, but the strategies often include:

• Challenging the connection between the assets and any alleged criminal activity
• Demonstrating legitimate sources of income or property
• Arguing lack of knowledge or intent
• Identifying illegal search and seizure
• Challenging warrants, investigative methods, or financial tracing
• Exposing gaps in the Crown’s financial analysis

In many cases, the prosecution’s assumptions are flawed or based on incomplete information. I work to dismantle those assumptions one by one.

When you hire me, you work directly with me—no junior lawyers, no assistants. With over a decade of defending clients in Brampton, I understand how quickly asset-related investigations escalate and how important it is to take immediate control of the narrative.

I focus on protecting your freedom, your finances, and your property from day one.

If police have seized your money or property:

• Contact me immediately before speaking to the police
• Avoid providing explanations on the spot
• Gather proof of ownership or legitimate sources of income
• Create a list of everything the police took
• Preserve all financial documents

The earlier I get involved, the stronger your position becomes.

You have the right to:

• Challenge the seizure
• Seek the return of your property
• Receive disclosure and evidence
• Contest any forfeiture application
• Challenge Charter violations

These cases often involve procedural errors that can significantly strengthen your defence.

• Objections to forfeiture
• Negotiations for the release of seized funds
• Court applications to return property
• Review of financial tracing and Crown disclosure
• Defence at forfeiture hearings

My goal is simple: protect your property and your future.

Proceeds of Crime charges often accompany other serious allegations, such as:

• Drug Trafficking
• Drug Possession
• Importing or Production of Drugs
• Fraud Under or Over $5,000
• Money Laundering
• Identity Theft
• Participation in a Criminal Organization

Understanding how these charges interact is critical. The Crown often uses the existence of money or assets to support other charges, so my defence strategy always considers the full picture.
