Criminal Charges We Defend in Ajax
Weisberg Law defends clients facing serious criminal charges at the Oshawa courthouse and throughout Durham Region. Every case begins with a disciplined review of the evidence and a clear plan.
Assault and Domestic Assault
Assault charges range from common assault to aggravated assault and threats. Many arise from domestic situations where credibility, context, and prior communications are central. Defence preparation examines the full factual record and identifies weaknesses in the prosecution’s case from the outset.
Sexual Assault and Related Offences
Sexual offence prosecutions require meticulous disclosure review and a litigation strategy built around the specific facts. Communications, timelines, and the reliability of witness accounts are examined in detail. Cross-examination strategy is developed with precision.
Impaired Driving and DUI
The legal basis for stops, breath demand procedures, instrument records, and Charter compliance all require close scrutiny. Where the Crown’s evidence has procedural gaps, Weisberg Law challenges it directly and presses for exclusion where the law supports it.
Drug Offences Including Possession and Trafficking
Warrant validity, investigative authority, and the continuity of seized evidence are examined carefully. Durham Region drug prosecutions often involve extensive disclosure that must be reviewed systematically to expose gaps and unlawful investigative conduct.
Weapons and Firearm Offences
Given the serious sentencing consequences, the legality of stops, searches, and warrants receives detailed scrutiny. Knowledge, possession, and control are central legal issues that require careful analysis of the specific facts and circumstances.
Homicide Including Murder and Manslaughter
These cases demand experienced strategic thinking, thorough preparation, and the ability to manage complex evidentiary issues at trial. Weisberg Law approaches these matters with the seriousness and discipline they require.
Fraud and White Collar Crime
Financial prosecutions are document-intensive and turn heavily on questions of intent and the credibility of financial records. Defence strategy involves organized disclosure review, expert input where needed, and targeted challenges to the Crown’s theory.
Break and Enter and Property Offences
Identification, opportunity, and the reliability of surveillance or forensic evidence are typically central issues. Defence preparation scrutinizes the investigative record for gaps and challenges the strength of the Crown’s identification evidence.
Criminal Harassment and Uttering Threats
These charges frequently arise from relationship disputes and depend heavily on context and competing accounts. The complete communication history and surrounding circumstances form the foundation of an effective defence.
Criminal Appeals
Where a conviction or sentence is legally unsound, appellate review may provide a meaningful remedy. Weisberg Law reviews the full record, identifies viable grounds, and advances focused arguments before appellate courts.

How We Build Your Defence
Every Ajax file is prepared from the beginning as if it will proceed to trial. That standard of preparation gives the defence real leverage at every stage and ensures nothing is left to chance.
Early Assessment and Risk Control
We begin by mapping the full factual and legal landscape of your case. Key evidence is identified and preserved early, including messages, financial records, surveillance footage, and device data. Immediate concerns around bail, employment, travel conditions, and third-party contact are addressed with a structured plan.
Disclosure and Investigation
Full disclosure is demanded from the Crown, covering police notes, video evidence, digital extractions, forensic reports, and all warrant materials. Every gap and inconsistency is examined. Where the case involves technical evidence, independent expert review is obtained to test the Crown’s analysis.
Charter Applications
Unlawful stops, unreasonable searches, and improperly obtained statements can ground Charter applications that result in the exclusion of critical evidence. Where rights were violated, Weisberg Law pursues those applications with focus and precision.
Negotiations and Judicial Pre-Trials
A trial-ready file gives the defence meaningful leverage in negotiations. Weisberg Law presses for withdrawals, diversion, or significant charge reductions where the evidence supports it. If the matter proceeds toward trial, preparation continues without interruption.
Trial Preparation and Advocacy
A clear and coherent defence theory guides every decision. Witness preparation, cross-examination strategy, and targeted pre-trial motions are developed with disciplined focus. At trial, the defence is advanced with precision and purpose.
The earlier you retain counsel, the stronger your position becomes.

Steps to Take After Police Contact in Ajax
What you do in the hours and days after police contact can significantly affect your case. Practical steps to take immediately include:
- Exercise your right to silence and do not provide any statement to police without legal advice
- Preserve all relevant evidence including text messages, emails, photos, call logs, and social media
- Identify potential sureties who could support a bail application if required
- Seek advice on any conditions affecting your employment, housing, or travel
- Avoid any contact with complainants, co-accused, or witnesses without direction from counsel
Bail and Release Strategy
Bail conditions set the terms of your life while your case is before the courts. Overly restrictive or unworkable conditions create ongoing legal risk and personal hardship. Weisberg Law moves quickly to secure release on terms that are realistic and defensible.
Bail plans are built around credible sureties, structured supervision arrangements, and conditions that reflect the actual circumstances of the case. Where an existing bail order needs to be reviewed or varied, we act without delay.
If someone you know has been arrested in Ajax or Durham Region, immediate legal action is important.

Evidence, Digital Records, and Expert Analysis
Durham Region criminal prosecutions increasingly rely on digital evidence and forensic analysis. Weisberg Law approaches evidence review rigorously to ensure that unreliable or unlawfully obtained material does not drive the outcome of your case.
Expert assistance may be engaged across a range of evidentiary issues, including:
- Digital evidence analysis covering phone extractions, cloud data, location records, and metadata
- Forensic science including DNA, fingerprint analysis, toxicology, and ballistics
- Eyewitness identification and the science of memory reliability
- Search and seizure litigation involving warrant validity and informer privilege
Appeals and Post-Conviction Options
A conviction or sentence does not always mark the end of available legal options. Where there are viable grounds, an appeal can produce a meaningful result.
Appellate work requires a thorough review of the trial record, precise legal writing, and focused advocacy before the Court of Appeal or the Superior Court. Weisberg Law identifies viable appeal grounds, obtains transcripts and exhibits, and advances targeted arguments where they have a genuine prospect of success.
