If You Were Charged or Contacted by Police
Nothing has been proven yet. A criminal charge is only an accusation.
Most people who call have never been in this situation before. They just want to know what happens next and what not to do.
But the process that follows is serious. It can affect your record, your job, and your future. You may have already received paperwork, release conditions, or a court date.
This is not something to handle alone. Early decisions matter more than most people realize.
Before you speak to police, answer questions, or plead guilty to anything, talk to a criminal defence lawyer.

What To Do Right Now
After being charged, many people try to explain what happened. They want to clear things up, talk to the other side, or make the problem go away.
That instinct is understandable. But it can hurt your case without you knowing it.
Speak with a criminal defence lawyer first.
Why Early Advice Matters
Mistakes made early are difficult to undo. This includes giving statements, missing deadlines, agreeing to interviews, or accepting responsibility before understanding the consequences.
A criminal charge can follow you. It can affect employment, travel, relationships, and opportunities you have not thought of yet.
But remember: the Crown still has to prove the case. The earlier you get advice, the more options you have.
What Happens When You Call
You don’t need to prepare anything for that first call. People usually just explain what happened in their own words.
You explain what happened. That is all you need to prepare.
Elliot Song will tell you what the charge means, whether anything is urgent, what you should avoid doing, and what your next step should be.
By the end of the call, you will know where you stand.
The consultation is confidential. There is no cost and no pressure. You are not committing to anything by calling.

Did You Already Talk to Police?
You may still have options, even if you already answered questions or gave a statement.
What matters now is what you do next. The earlier a lawyer looks at your situation, the more room there is to work with.
Before Your First Court Date
Court is not where you first figure things out. It is where decisions start to affect outcomes.
Before you go, you should understand the possible outcomes, the available defences, whether charges might change, and what steps need to happen first.
That clarity comes from getting advice.
If court is coming up, get advice first: (647) 778-0031
