Liberty Law, Grande Prairie, AB

Our lawyers are deeply committed to the liberties and rights of all citizens. As citizens we often take our rights for granted. A criminal charge tests and personalizes those beliefs, often putting the individual’s liberties and rights in jeopardy.
In each case, and for every accused, a criminal defence lawyer fights for the rights of all citizens. As Mr. Justice Cory put it in R. v. Hunter:“The actions of the state taken against the least worthy of its citizens will eventually determine the pattern of its actions towards all its citizens.” Our firm strives to provide that level of service to all our clients whether they are charged with shoplifting or murder.
Criminal law in Canada has become a complicated and challenging area of practice. Since the introduction of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms in 1982 the volume of reported case law has grown exponentially. A lawyer cannot safely dabble in the field of criminal law. Practicing criminal law requires constant devotion to keep up to date on the quickly changing law.
