D.N.

Mr. D and his wife came to our office after he had been charged with Fraud over $5000. The two of them owned a restaurant and had branched off to operate a lounge at a sports facility here in town. During their time operating at this lounge it was alleged that the client used the company account for non-work related purchases. It was further alleged that the client falsified invoices to cover up his actions. The sum of the alleged Fraud was close to $50,000. The client and his wife denied the allegations and asserted that the sports facility was shadily managed and unprofitable for years. It was their belief that it was one of the shareholders who in fact was responsible for the thefts. The matter was set down for a 2-week Judge and Jury trial. After representing the client for more than 2 years and spending countless hours on this file Mr. N. is now able to say that he has no criminal record.

K.S.

While intoxicated, our client made the unfortunate decision to shoplift from a local grocery store. After being apprehended, he was charged with theft under $5000. While this is a relatively low end criminal offence, the consequences that flowed from a conviction were severe as K.S. was a business professional. Mr. Wyman was able to meet with a reasonable Crown and negotiate a withdrawal of the charges following K. making a meaningful charitable donation.

A.C.

While the lion’s share of our clients retain our services with respect to an incident they’ve been charged with, retaining counsel early on can ensure that no charges ever result. That’s exactly the case for A.C. This client was a local teacher who had been contacted by her insurance provider concerning several claims that had been flagged as fraudulent. The claims went back many years and the sum alleged was considerable. The client’s most pressing concern was to ensure that her employer did not become aware of this investigation. Our office worked with the insurance provider on her behalf and resolved the file in a discrete and amicable fashion.

J.F.

Another passed client that returned to our office after a successful result previously. J. was charged with fraud as well as forgery charges resulting in forged cheques being deposited into his account. While the charges were not of the most serious variety, there was a need to ensure that J. maintain no criminal convictions on his record. Mr. Wyman was able to strike a resolution with the assigned Crown whereby the charges were withdrawn following the completion on meaningful community service hours.

R.T.

Our office had successfully represented Mr. T’s son with respect to a sexual assault allegation. Mr. T sought our assistance as he now had been charged with fraud over $5000. Mr. T. was a mortgage broker by trade who also worked in the capacity of a financial advisor. It was alleged that Mr. T. provided financial advice to the complainant and ultimately defrauded him of over $92,000. Mr. T agreed that he had received the funds from the complainant but asserted that they constituted a loan which he could now not pay back. To complicate matters for the Crown, the complainant was now deceased and could not comment on the nature of the transactions. After speaking with Crown Counsel at a preliminary hearing the deficiencies in the prosecution’s case were made apparent. As these were deficiencies which could not be salvageable, the case was dropped.
