FAQ
Can you guarantee that you will win my case?
No competent or ethical lawyer can ever guarantee a result. However, Harpreet Saini can guarantee that he will use all of his legal experience, knowledge and advocacy skills to ensure that your rights are protected in the best way possible.
My charges aren’t very serious or complicated. Can’t I handle this case myself?
The Canadian judicial system allows an accused person to represent themselves in the court, but a person with no legal training is probably not in a good position to see the complexities of their case. You need to have a thorough knowledge of the legislation to properly organize, prepare for, and defend your case. That’s why hiring a criminal defence lawyer is necessary to have a fair chance during the proceedings.
I’m innocent. Why should I even worry about these charges?
There are many cases of innocent persons being wrongfully convicted of crimes that they have not committed. In the absence of a professional representation, you can get dragged into the matter and face penalties for the crime you are not a part of. You don’t need to worry about the charges if your lawyer has prepared a strong case and he/she knows how to use the evidence in your favour.
Should I hire the cheapest Brampton lawyer I can find?
Although cost is important, making cost the primary factor in deciding who to hire is a serious mistake in the context of deciding on a lawyer. If you hire an experienced Brampton lawyer who specializes in criminal cases, then it is obvious that he/she will charge the fees according to the nature of the case, the complexity involved, the degree of difficulty, and the amount of work that is expected to be done. A proper fee reflects the experience of the lawyer and the degree of expertise and knowledge that he/she brings to the table. However, if you hire an inexpensive lawyer, the chances are that you’ll get the services according to the fees you have paid.
I have been arrested. What should I do?
The first thing that you should do is to request to speak with a lawyer immediately.
According to Section 10 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, you have the right to consult a lawyer when you’re arrested or detained. Once informed that you wish to speak with a lawyer, the police officer cannot ask you further questions until you get a chance to talk to your lawyer in private. You can contact Harpreet Saini at (416) 234 6767 for legal
assistance if you’re in custody.
As an accused, is it necessary for me to go the court?
If you file a document called a designation of counsel to appear for all the proceedings on your behalf, then you don’t need to go to the court every time. However, there are exceptions to this rule where your attendance in court is required. For example, when the court is pronouncing a sentence, when you’re entering a plea, or for your trial.
Apart from criminal defence, what other legal services do you offer?
Apart from criminal defence, Harpreet Saini can also assist you with a complete range of immigration services. Whether you wish to come to Canada to study, work or simply meet your family, you need to prepare and submit applications for temporary or permanent residency depending on the nature of your visit. With his in depth experience in all the aspects of Canadian immigration, Harpreet Saini can help you in meeting all immigration requirements.
