Key Qualities of the Best Criminal Defence Lawyer

When your future is on the line, you need a lawyer with an aggressive, strategic, and results-driven approach. The right legal counsel will know how to tailor their approach to the specific details of your case and bring: 

1. Extensive Experience in Criminal Law

Criminal law is intricate and highly complex. Having a lawyer who focuses exclusively on defending clients against serious charges is non-negotiable. 

An experienced lawyer like our founder, Mo Vayeghan, knows how to anticipate the prosecution’s strategy, leverage existing Canadian legal precedents, and construct airtight defences that protect your best interests. The best criminal lawyer for your case should have a deep understanding of criminal procedure, evidentiary requirements, and potential defence strategies to ensure they can protect their clients effectively at every stage of the legal process.

2. A Reputation for Winning Tough Cases

The best criminal defence lawyers aren’t just experienced—they have a proven track record of success. While no lawyer can guarantee the outcome of a case, a skilled defence attorney knows how to navigate the legal process to achieve favourable results, such as acquittals, dismissals, and reduced charges, even in high-stakes cases. A track record of success demonstrates that your legal counsel has the knolwedge needed to navigate complex cases but also is prepared to take the aggressive stance needed to protect you. 

3. In-depth knowledge of Canadian Criminal Law

A top-tier lawyer stays ahead of legal changes and case law precedents that can influence your defence strategy. By keeping up to date with legal reforms and judicial interpretations, an experienced lawyer will be able to identify new loopholes or standards that may strengthen a defence.

4. Commanding Presence in Court and Strong Negotiation Skills

Criminal cases demand authority and a powerful litigator who isn’t afraid to stand up for you, whether in the courtroom or when negotiating with prosecutors. Mo Vayeghan is an experienced lawyer who not only leverages his background as a former Crown Prosecutor but also his prior time working as a Bronx Defence lawyer in New York City to take the aggressive stance needed when defending his clients.

The best criminal defence lawyer does more than just represent you in court; they aggressively defend your rights at every stage of the legal process by: 

• Fighting Unfair Treatment
• Crafting a Bulletproof Defence Strategy 
• Negotiating to Reduce Charges or Secure Acquittals
