Frequently Asked Questions

The following frequently asked questions address common concerns people have when facing criminal charges in Mississauga. These answers provide general information about the criminal process in Ontario and what to expect when seeking legal advice.

What should I do immediately after being charged with a criminal offence in Mississauga?

After being charged, it is important to stay calm and avoid discussing the matter with police or anyone else until you have legal representation. Take note of what happened and keep any documents you receive. Protecting your rights from the outset is crucial.

Contact Randy Norris to arrange a confidential consultation and discuss how your rights can be protected at this early stage.

Is there really a free consultation available?

Yes, many criminal defence lawyers in Mississauga offer a free initial consultation. This meeting is typically used to understand the basics of your case and answer preliminary questions.

Contact Randy Norris to arrange a confidential consultation and review the basic details of your situation.

How quickly can I speak with a criminal defence lawyer?

Availability can vary, but most defence lawyers will respond to serious inquiries as soon as possible. In urgent cases, same-day contact is often possible.

If your situation is urgent, contact Randy Norris and he will usually take your call or return it within two hours - calls after 10 pm will be returned the next morning.

What information should I bring to my first consultation?

You should bring any documents related to your charge, including paperwork from the police or court, as well as a brief written or oral summary of the events and your questions.

A confidential consultation with Randy Norris is more effective when these materials are available for review.

How much does a criminal lawyer cost in Mississauga?

Costs can vary depending on the complexity of your case and the lawyer’s experience. Some offer flat fees, while others charge hourly. Payment plans may also be available.

Speak with Randy Norris to discuss potential fees and payment arrangements based on the specifics of your case.

Will hiring a lawyer make me look guilty?

No. Exercising your right to legal representation is a smart and responsible decision. It shows that you are taking the matter seriously and want to ensure a fair process.

Contact us to arrange a confidential consultation and discuss your situation without any assumptions being made.

Can I represent myself in a criminal trial?

Yes, but criminal law is complex and the consequences of a conviction can be severe. Most people benefit from professional legal representation to navigate the process effectively.

Speak with Randy Norris to discuss the risks of self-representation and the options available to you.

What if I can’t afford a lawyer—do I qualify for legal aid?

Legal Aid Ontario may cover legal fees for individuals who meet specific financial eligibility criteria. You must apply and provide documentation of your financial situation.

Contact us to review whether Legal Aid may apply and how to proceed with your case - while Randy Norris does not do legal aid he can certainly refer you to a qualified lawyer who does.

What if I’m innocent but the evidence looks bad?

The legal system presumes innocence, and a strong defence can challenge weak or misleading evidence. It's important not to assume a bad outcome without exploring your options.

A confidential consultation with Randy Norris can help assess the evidence and discuss possible defence strategies.

What if I’m a first-time offender—will the court be more lenient?

Courts often consider a clean record when determining sentence, and first-time offenders may be eligible for diversion programs or non-custodial penalties.

Speak with us to discuss how being a first-time offender may be considered in your case.
