Firearm offences move fast through the justice system. Early legal intervention can make a critical difference in reducing charges or protecting you from making damaging mistakes.

Firearm cases often involve:

• Mandatory minimum jail sentences
• Search warrants
• Forensic analysis
• Technical definitions of possession, accessibility, and intent

The Crown takes these cases extremely seriously. You need a lawyer who can match that intensity with strong, informed defence strategies.

I routinely represent individuals charged with:

1. Unauthorized possession of a firearm
2. Possession of a prohibited or restricted firearm
3. Careless storage or unsafe storage of a firearm
4. Possession of a firearm without a licence or a valid PAL
5. Carrying a concealed weapon
6. Using a firearm in the commission of an offence
7. Loaded prohibited firearm possession
8. Possession of a firearm obtained by crime
9. Weapons trafficking or firearm smuggling
10. Pointing a firearm or threatening with a weapon
11. Possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose

These charges often arise from police searches, traffic stops, search warrants, domestic incidents, border investigations, and targeted enforcement by Peel Police or the Guns and Gangs Unit.

• Illegal possession (actual, constructive, or joint possession)
• Knowledge and control
• The firearm meets the definition under the Criminal Code
• The weapon was stored, transported, or used contrary to regulation
• Lawful authority did not exist

My job is to challenge each of these elements using evidence, Charter protections, and legal analysis.

Many firearm offences carry mandatory minimum jail sentences, especially when a loaded or prohibited firearm is involved. Even a first-time offender can face significant penitentiary time.

A conviction may result in:

• Lengthy jail sentences
• Firearm prohibitions lasting years or for life
• Loss of employment opportunities
• Immigration consequences for permanent residents or foreign nationals
• Inability to travel to the United States
• Permanent criminal record impacting licensing, security clearances, and professional careers

Firearm offences rank among the highest-risk charges in Ontario. A conviction can reshape your life in ways most people don’t anticipate.

A large percentage of firearm cases involve issues with:

• Search warrants
• Arrest without reasonable grounds
• Unlawful vehicle searches
• Questionable investigative techniques
• Violations of your Charter rights

If police breached your rights, I can seek to exclude the firearm from evidence — often resulting in charges being withdrawn or dismissed.

• Who actually had control of the firearm
• Whether you knew the firearm’s presence
• Whether the gun belonged to someone else
• Whether the police made assumptions instead of gathering proof

Disputing possession is one of the most effective defence strategies in gun cases.

I scrutinize:

• Firearm classification reports
• Fingerprint findings
• DNA analysis
• Ballistic conclusions
• Chain of custody concerns

Any weakness in forensic evidence creates reasonable doubt.

Where appropriate, I work to:

• Reduce charges to non-firearm offences
• Avoid mandatory minimum sentences
• Pursue diversion where available
• Resolve matters without a criminal record

Every case is different, and my defence strategy is always built around your specific circumstances.
