We can help you appeal your conviction or sentence, and apply for bail pending your appeal.

We handle appeals in all criminal cases, as well as appeals against findings of Not Criminally Responsible, and appeals against dispositions of the Ontario Review Board. We also represent people who are facing an appeal by the Crown against their acquittal or their sentence.
