Practice Areas
The criminal justice system is adversarial by design. The State brings the full weight of its investigative and prosecutorial resources to bear against the individual. The role of the Defence is to meet that weight — to test every element of the prosecution’s case, to protect the rights of the accused, and to insist that the burden of proof is carried, not assumed.
