Need a Drug Crime Lawyer for Trafficking or Possession?
Talk to one of our criminal defence lawyers in our Abbotsford and Surrey, BC offices
In 2008 there were about 102,000 reported drug offences in Canada according to
Statistics Canada. Drug charges in British Columbia include trafficking, distributing, cultivation, and possession of marijuana, cocaine, crystal meth, heroin – to name a few. Any one of these charges is a serious criminal charge if it results in a criminal conviction.
Dykstra & Company has over 25 years successfully defending drug-related charges – whether possession, trafficking or cultivation. We are located in
Abbotsford and
Surrey, BC, serving the Lower Mainland and Fraser Valley from
Vancouver to
Chilliwack. We understand the drug prosecution system, and know how to build a solid defence to drug charges.
Consequences of a Drug Charge Conviction
Being convicted of a drug-related charge in British Columbia can have long-term devastating consequences such as:
- Difficulty getting a good job
- Travel restrictions outside of Canada
- A jail sentence
- Probation which may restrict your mobility and place hardship on your life
We know these consequences are serious and debilitating. With 25 plus years’ experience defending drug charges, we can review your case, beginning with what the police say, and from there, building a solid defence to the drug charges you face. There are numerous possible defences to drug charges – including the manner in how the police investigated you, arrested you, and obtained the evidence used to charge you, as well as potential identity defences – to name a few.
The prosecution won’t tell you the weaknesses in the prosecution’s case against you. We will. The lawyers at Dykstra & Company will listen to what happened, explain the defences available to you, build your case, and capably represent you through the court process.
One of the most effective methods for defending criminal charges is cross-examining the police who investigated and arrested you. It’s important that the right questions and challenges are made to the police – and that happens in court. When you hire Dykstra & Company, Gordon J. Dykstra, with many years cross examining police officers, will be able to put your case before the court and ask the police questions the prosecutor may not ask.
