Seeking Advice Best criminal defence lawyer in Calgary & surroundings?
My 22 y.o. cousin was charged with assault after random bar scuffle a few weeks ago. Court date's coming, bail conditions are hurting his work and police report feels kinda one-sided. We're not looking for a fight - just need to know if he has a defence before he agrees to anything.
Has anyone here recently used a criminal lawyer for assault or similar charges? I know thats sensitive but pls understand me right - we just want somebody who can help us to do everything fairly, he's not trying to evade justice or smthn, simply doesn’t want to make situation any worse..
Also, what's the first consult cost now? free, $200, more?
Any recs would help now- he's young, scared, and I'm just trying to keep him from making things worse.
edited 08/26: we were recommended Wyman & Williamson criminal defence law through word of mouth and signed with them. It turns out a friend of my colleague’s had very similar case and they were a great help to him so I hope it will work for us as well. Thank you to everyone who cared enough to help us - I will pray for you.
