Our support often includes private investigations, expert evidence on video surveillance or forensic timelines, Charter applications for unlawful search and seizure, and pre-trial motions to exclude prejudicial evidence.
Trial strategy in theft and robbery cases hinges on precision—timing, credibility, and control of the narrative. These charges can involve everything from shoplifting and break-and-enter to armed robbery, each carrying its own legal thresholds and evidentiary demands. We build defences around what the Crown can’t prove—identity, intent, possession, or knowledge—while strategically controlling the courtroom environment. Whether cross-examining eyewitnesses or raising reasonable doubt through circumstantial evidence, our goal is always the same: dismantle the case piece by piece and protect your freedom.
Popular questions
What’s the difference between theft and robbery?
Theft involves taking property without consent. Robbery adds an element of violence or threat of violence, which makes it more serious in the eyes of the court.
Can I win a theft trial if they have video evidence?
Video doesn’t always prove identity or intent. We assess its clarity, admissibility, and whether it supports the Crown’s timeline.
How serious are robbery charges?
Robbery is considered a violent offence and can carry lengthy prison sentences, especially if a weapon is involved. Defence at trial is crucial.
Should I testify in my theft or robbery trial?
Not necessarily. Whether you testify depends on the strength of the Crown’s case, your ability to withstand cross-examination, and strategic factors we will discuss thoroughly.
