From the very first moment I spoke to Mr Padda, he made me feel at ease and assured me that he could help me with my case. I was very distraught at the time but he worked with me patiently and tirelessly and was able to get my case withdrawn with no criminal record. It was a very sensitive and emotional issue for me at the time but he was very professional and always kept me updated. Probably one of the best defense lawyers in Halton/Milton area. I remain grateful and appreciative of a job well done. I hope his expertise and professionalism will continue to assist someone in a vulnerable and difficult situation like mine. His costs are reasonable too.

Well folks I really don’t know what to say at this point in time as I’m still in a state of shock & let me explain why ….first off , I was looking at 6 serious charges that were brought against me & that alone is enough to make anyone have nightmares , well I found Inder on the internet & called him up & told him my dilemma & my situation , he then told me that not to worry & he will deal with everything . Well I went & met Inder at his office location in Mississauga & explained my situation , he said it was a tough one but he would give it his best shot & not to worry , well time had past & the trial was coming up & it was time to get prepared for trail , well if you ever had a gym trainer that was so hard on you , then you will find Inder to be the same way , he’s hard & tough on you , but it’s only cause he’s a professional & wants things done correctly so the end results are a victory , well as the trail came up , I was a little skeptical if Inder was really going to pull this off as it was a serious task in hand & nothing short of a miracle , well as the trail went on Inder was being hit with roadblocks that were not looking well for my case , but if any of you people have ever seen the Rocky movie saga’s , Inder was Rocky Balboa , he took all the punches & let the Crown attorney smack him around a little bit , but in the final round he came out guns a blazing & swinging & pulled out all the stops & K.O ‘d the Crown Attorney , this was an amazing feat to achieve & I was very impressed & relieved that Inder had done what he said he would do right from the beginning , he was in my corner & fought till the bitter end & came out victorious , if you don’t like someone is tough on you , then Inder isn’t your man , but if you want results , then there is nobody better that you would want on ur side then Mr . Inder Padda…….kudos to you Mr .Padda I tip my hat to you & will never forget you & how you saved my life

Inder was amazing to work with. He was organized, knowledgeable and empathetic. I came in with 4 serious charges that would have resulted in jail time. He was able to reduce the sentence to 1 charge with no jail time. I couldn't have received a better outcome. Would recommend him highly to anybody. Thanks again Inder!

Criminal Charges Handled by a Criminal Lawyer in Toronto

Everstone Law provides defence representation for individuals charged with many types of criminal offences in Toronto. A criminal lawyer may assist clients who are facing allegations involving violence, property offences, or regulatory crimes.

Assault and Related Allegations

Assault cases can arise from a wide range of circumstances, including personal disputes, misunderstandings, or domestic situations. These charges can range from minor allegations to more serious offences involving bodily harm.

Defence representation may involve reviewing witness accounts, examining physical evidence, and assessing whether legal defences such as self-defence may apply.

Driving and Impaired Driving Offences

Driving-related criminal charges often involve allegations that a person operated a vehicle in a manner that posed a danger to others or while under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

These cases may include:

  • Impaired driving
  • Over 80 mg alcohol offences
  • Refusal to comply with breath demands
  • Dangerous driving

Because these cases often rely on technical evidence, a Toronto criminal lawyer will closely review testing procedures and police conduct.

Drug Offences

Drug-related charges can involve possession, trafficking, or production of controlled substances. These cases frequently involve search warrants, surveillance, and other investigative techniques.

A criminal lawyer will carefully analyze how the evidence was obtained and whether the investigation complied with constitutional protections.

Fraud and Property Offences

Financial crimes such as fraud and theft may involve allegations of deception, misuse of funds, or unlawful taking of property. These cases often require a detailed examination of financial documents and investigative findings.

A criminal lawyer in Toronto may work with clients to challenge the prosecution’s interpretation of the evidence and explore possible legal defences.

Weapons and Firearms Allegations

Weapons-related charges can involve strict legal requirements and significant penalties. These cases may include allegations related to possession, transportation, or use of prohibited weapons.

Careful review of the circumstances surrounding the alleged offence is critical when building an effective defence.

Understanding the Criminal Court Process in Toronto

Criminal matters in Toronto are typically heard at courthouses such as Old City Hall or the Toronto Regional Bail Centre. The legal process can involve multiple stages before a case is resolved.

These stages may include:

  1. First court appearance
  2. Disclosure review
  3. Bail hearing (when applicable)
  4. Pre-trial discussions
  5. Trial preparation
  6. Trial or negotiated resolution

A knowledgeable Toronto criminal lawyer will guide clients through each stage of the process and explain the legal issues involved.

Why Early Legal Advice Is Important

When a person is under investigation or has already been charged with a criminal offence, obtaining legal advice quickly can help prevent mistakes that may affect the defence.

An experienced criminal lawyer in Toronto can assist by:

  • Explaining your legal rights
  • Advising you before speaking with police
  • Protecting you during the investigative process
  • Identifying potential legal issues early in the case

Early preparation often provides greater opportunities to challenge evidence or pursue favourable outcomes.

Frequently Asked Questions About Criminal Charges in Toronto

What should I do if police want to question me?

You have the right to remain silent and the right to speak with a lawyer before answering any questions. It is generally advisable to consult a Toronto criminal lawyer before providing statements to investigators.

Some cases may be resolved through negotiations with prosecutors, diversion programs, or other legal arrangements depending on the circumstances. A criminal lawyer can evaluate whether these options may apply.

No. The prosecution must prove the allegations beyond a reasonable doubt. A defence lawyer may challenge evidence or raise legal arguments that affect the outcome of the case.

The timeline varies depending on the complexity of the charges and the court process. Some cases resolve quickly, while others may require additional hearings or trial preparation.
