Criminal Law
OUR CRIMINAL LAW TEAM
Don’t believe for a minute that a criminal charge automatically results in a conviction. At Devichy, we fight every single day to avoid a criminal record for our clients, get an acquittal, or demand that a sentence be reduced to the minimum.
To be on our team, each member must possess three key qualities: a command of criminal law, empathy for accused clients, and the ability to fight.
We will defend you against all criminal charges: fraud, shoplifting, mischief, drunk driving, conjugal violence and assault, drugs, and firearms, to name but a few.

Why hire a lawyer if I’m guilty anyway?
Answer: Many clients who retain our services, even if they have committed the acts, end up obtaining an acquittal, withdrawal of complaint or discharge. We will discuss your chances of obtaining this result from the first consultation.
I did not commit the crime for which I am charged:
what can you do for me?
Answer: Two things. We will first ask for a copy of the evidence and analyze it to understand why charges have been laid against you. Then we will explain you the strategy we will use to obtain an acquittal (trial or negotiation with the prosecutor). See here examples of aquittals.
