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 I was very distraught at the time but he worked with me patiently and tirelessly and was able to get my case withdrawn with no criminal record.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.Posted on Google![]()

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 lifePosted on Google![]()

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!Posted on Google![]()

Criminal Harassment
Understanding Criminal Harassment Charges
Being charged with criminal harassment can be stressful and may cause serious emotional, financial, and personal consequences. Many individuals are unaware that certain behaviours can lead to criminal charges.
Legal Definition Under the Criminal Code
Under section 264(1) of the Criminal Code, criminal harassment occurs when a person knowingly or recklessly engages in conduct that causes another person to reasonably fear for their safety or the safety of someone known to them.
Types of Conduct Considered Criminal Harassment
The Criminal Code outlines specific behaviours under section 264(2), including:
- Repeatedly following someone from place to place
- Repeatedly communicating directly or indirectly
- Watching or approaching a person’s home, workplace, or frequented location
- Engaging in threatening conduct toward the individual or their family
Hybrid Offence: Summary vs. Indictable Charges
Criminal harassment is classified as a hybrid offence, meaning the Crown may proceed:
- Summarily (less severe penalties)
- By indictment (more serious consequences, including higher penalties)
In indictable cases, the accused may choose trial by judge alone or judge and jury.
Factors That Can Increase Severity of the Charge
Certain circumstances may be considered aggravating factors, including:
- Breaching court orders or bail conditions
- Prior history involving the complainant
- Escalating or persistent behaviour
Burden of Proof in Criminal Harassment Cases
The Crown must prove all elements of the offence beyond a reasonable doubt. These cases are highly fact-specific and depend on the context and evidence presented.
Possible Defences to Criminal Harassment Charges
A defence may be available depending on the facts of the case. A criminal defence lawyer can assess whether:
- The conduct meets the legal definition
- There was no intent or recklessness
- The complainant’s fear was not reasonable
