Criminal Law

At Hamilton Law Group, our experienced criminal defense lawyers provide aggressive, strategic representation for individuals facing serious criminal charges across British Columbia and beyond. We understand how stressful criminal charges can be and work tirelessly to protect your rights, your freedom, and your future. Whether you are under investigation, charged, or preparing for trial, our legal team is ready to defend you with personalized attention and comprehensive legal strategy.

A criminal charge can have long lasting consequences, including fines, probation, loss of driving privileges, and incarceration. Early legal intervention is essential to properly frame your defense and protect your legal rights at every step of the process. Our firm applies deep legal knowledge, thoughtful case analysis, and strategic negotiation to pursue the most favorable outcomes for our clients.

We defend clients against a broad range of criminal matters, including but not limited to the following:

As a skilled assault lawyer, Hamilton Law Group defends clients facing charges ranging from common assault to aggravated assault. We challenge the evidence, assert constitutional rights where appropriate, and explore every option to reduce or dismiss your charges.

Our impaired driving lawyers and DUI defense lawyers provide strong representation for all driving related offences, including impaired driving, over 80 charges, breathalyzer refusals, and dangerous driving. We scrutinize procedural compliance, testing accuracy, and legal defenses to protect your driving privileges and minimize legal impact.

If you are charged with theft or other property crimes, our theft lawyers work to assess the facts, identify legal defenses, and negotiate with prosecutors. We handle cases from minor theft and shoplifting to complex fraud-related charges.

Our team also defends clients against sophisticated financial and white-collar crimes, including fraud, embezzlement, and tax fraud. Financial crime matters are complex and often require thorough investigation and expert analysis — we have the knowledge to build effective defenses in these cases.

We provide defense across the full spectrum of criminal charges, including but not limited to:

From the first contact, we conduct a thorough review of the charges, evidence, and circumstances of your case. You will receive honest advice about your legal options and the potential outcomes. Early strategy development is critical in criminal defense and can influence key decisions from bail to trial.

Our lawyers analyze police reports, witness statements, procedural records, and forensic data. This allows us to identify weaknesses in the prosecution’s case, challenge unreasonable searches or breaches of rights, and develop a tailored defense strategy.

Where appropriate, we negotiate with prosecutors for reduced charges or alternative resolutions such as diversion or conditional sentences. If your case proceeds to trial, our team provides confident courtroom advocacy aimed at securing the best possible result.
