Practice Areas We Defend
If you are searching for a criminal defence lawyer in Richmond Hill, Weisberg Law provides focused advocacy across serious criminal charges. Every case begins with detailed analysis, control of evidence, and a structured defence plan.
Assault & Domestic Assault
Charges range from simple assault to aggravated assault and uttering threats. Defence preparation often examines credibility, context, identification, and potential self-defence issues. Strategic review of the evidence can expose weaknesses in the prosecution’s theory.
Sexual Assault & Related Offences
Sexual offence prosecutions demand careful disclosure review and disciplined litigation strategy. Digital records, timelines, communications, and witness reliability and credibility are scrutinized while preparing targeted cross-examination.
Impaired Driving (DUI)
Breath demand timing, instrument records, grounds for arrest, and Charter compliance require close analysis. Where procedures were not followed lawfully, evidence may be challenged or excluded.
Drug Offences – Possession, Trafficking, Production
Search warrants and investigative grounds are tested carefully. The defence strategy often focuses on disclosure gaps, unlawful searches, or weaknesses in the continuity of seized evidence.
Homicide – Murder & Manslaughter
These cases require experienced trial strategy and extensive preparation. Weisberg Law handles complex evidentiary issues, expert witnesses, and the realities of jury trials with disciplined advocacy.
Firearm & Weapons Offences
Possession, knowledge, and control are often central issues. The legality of stops, searches, and warrants also receives detailed scrutiny given the serious sentencing exposure involved.
Fraud & White Collar Crime
Financial prosecutions require organized document review and analysis of intent and communications. Defence strategy may involve detailed record examination and expert input.
Conspiracy & Criminal Organization
Wiretaps, surveillance operations, and informant evidence demand careful disclosure litigation. Charter rights and investigative shortcuts are challenged directly.
Criminal Harassment & Uttering Threats
These cases often depend on context and credibility. Communication records and the full factual background become central to a credible defence.
Criminal Appeals
If a conviction or sentence is unsafe, appellate review may provide remedies. Weisberg Law evaluates appeal grounds and advances targeted legal arguments before appellate courts.

How We Build Your Defence
Every case is prepared with the expectation that it could proceed to court. That level of preparation strengthens negotiations and ensures readiness if trial becomes necessary.
Early Intake and Risk Control
The defence process begins with mapping the facts, identifying legal risks, and preserving key evidence such as messages, device data, location records, and third-party documentation. Immediate concerns around bail, employment, and travel are addressed with a structured plan.
Disclosure and Investigation
Full disclosure is demanded from the prosecution, including police notes, video evidence, digital extractions, forensic reports, and warrant materials. Gaps or inconsistencies are examined closely. Where appropriate, independent experts may assist with technical evidence.
Charter Applications
Unlawful detentions, searches, or statements may justify Charter challenges. Focused legal applications can lead to the exclusion of evidence or, in some circumstances, a stay of proceedings.
Negotiation and Judicial Pre-Trials
With a trial-ready brief, Weisberg Law presses for withdrawals, diversionary outcomes, or meaningful charge reductions. If the case proceeds toward trial, preparation continues to strengthen the defence record.
Trial Preparation
A clear defence theory guides the process. Evidence strategy, witness preparation, and targeted motions are developed with disciplined advocacy in mind.
Early legal intervention strengthens leverage.

Early Steps to Protect Your Position
The first steps taken after police make contact can significantly affect the direction of a criminal case.
Practical steps may include:
- Avoid providing statements to police without legal advice
- Preserve potential evidence including texts, emails, photos, and call logs
- Identify possible sureties if bail becomes necessary
- Seek guidance regarding employment, school obligations, or travel
Bail & Release Strategy
Release conditions often shape the course of a criminal case. Weisberg Law moves quickly to secure bail with realistic and defensible conditions.
Effective bail plans may involve credible sureties, structured supervision, and practical conditions that support compliance while protecting the defence strategy.
If someone you care about has been arrested, immediate legal action matters.

Evidence, Experts & Digital Realities
Modern prosecutions frequently rely on digital records and forensic analysis. Defence strategy requires a rigorous approach to evidence so unreliable or unlawfully obtained material does not determine the outcome.
Expert assistance may be used where helpful, including:
- Digital evidence analysis involving device extractions, cloud data, and metadata
- Forensic evidence such as DNA, fingerprints, ballistics, and toxicology
- Identification reliability and eyewitness memory analysis
- Search and seizure litigation involving warrant validity and informer privilege
Appeals & Post-Conviction Options
Even after sentencing, legal remedies may remain available.
Appeal work requires detailed record review, precise legal writing, and focused courtroom advocacy. Weisberg Law assesses viable appeal grounds, obtains transcripts and exhibits, and advances targeted arguments before appellate courts.
