The lawyer you choose matters more than most people realize. David Doney has been defending the people of Ontario since 1976. That is nearly five decades of criminal courtrooms, thousands of cases, and a depth of experience very few lawyers in this province can match.

David knows both sides of the courtroom. As a former drug prosecutor, he knows exactly how the Crown builds its case and where it can be taken apart.

What It Means to Have David in Your Corner

The Crown has resources, experience, and time. Their goal is a conviction. David's goal is to make sure that does not happen.

He has handled thousands of criminal cases across Ontario. He lectures. He stays current with changes in case law. He has stood across from the Crown more times than he can count, and he knows what it takes to dismantle a case that looks solid on paper.

Some lawyers will size up your situation and steer you toward a guilty plea because it is faster and easier for them. David does not work that way. Every client deserves a full and honest assessment of their options before any decision is made. A charge is not a conviction. And a rushed guilty plea is not a defence.

Common Questions About Criminal Charges in Kitchener

What should I do first if I've been charged with a criminal offence in Ontario?

Call a criminal defence lawyer before you do anything else. Do not speak to police without a lawyer present. Do not try to explain yourself. Do not assume the charge will go away on its own. The decisions you make in the first 24 to 48 hours can affect the outcome of your entire case. David Doney offers a free consultation. Call (519) 900-9707

Does a criminal charge always lead to a conviction?

No. A charge is not a conviction. The Crown must prove its case beyond a reasonable doubt. An experienced criminal defence lawyer will examine the evidence, challenge the Crown's case where it is weak, and fight for the best possible outcome. David has handled thousands of criminal cases across Ontario. Many charges can be reduced, stayed, or withdrawn entirely with the right defence.

Should I just plead guilty to get it over with?

This is one of the most damaging mistakes a person can make. A guilty plea means a criminal record. A criminal record can affect your employment, your housing, your travel, and your family. Some lawyers push clients toward guilty pleas because it is faster and easier for them. David does not work that way. Every client deserves a full and honest assessment of their options before any decision is made.
