Weapons Charge Lawyers in Ontario

Weapons and firearms charges are federal charges. Most are laid under the Criminal Code. Every charge under the Criminal Code, the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act, the Youth Criminal Justice Act and most other federal statutes starts in the Ontario Court of Justice, and about 95% are completed there. The Superior Court of Justice can try any indictable offence but generally tries only the most serious. Its list includes firearm offences, along with murder, manslaughter, robberies, home invasions and criminal organization offences. Trials there are by a judge alone or with a jury.

In Ontario, 432 lawyers are listed here as taking weapons and firearms charges. Twenty-six cities have their own page for this charge. Toronto has 118 listed lawyers, Mississauga 50, Brampton 49, North York 28 and Ottawa 28. Scarborough has 17, Hamilton 13, London 12, Etobicoke 10 and Kitchener 8. The city pages list the lawyers in each place. If you are charged in or near one of these places, its page lists the lawyers there.

The national guide linked on this page explains all weapons offences. Weapons charges cover many different situations, so the guide is the place to start if you want to know what a specific charge means.

Anyone who is arrested or detained has rights under the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Section 10 says you must be told the reasons promptly, and that you can retain and instruct counsel without delay and must be told of that right. Section 24(2) says evidence obtained in a way that infringed Charter rights is excluded if admitting it would bring the administration of justice into disrepute. This page does not say whether either section applies to any case. A listing on this page is not a recommendation, and the page does not rank lawyers. It is general information, not legal advice.
