Criminal Charges We Defend in Regina

SPS Law Group LLP defends a wide range of criminal charges in Regina and across Saskatchewan. Our main criminal practice areas include:

Domestic Assault & Assault Charges

In Canada there is no separate offence called “domestic assault.” A person may be charged with assault, assault with a weapon, assault causing bodily harm, aggravated assault, uttering threats, or criminal harassment, and the family or relationship context is treated seriously. Even an allegation involving limited physical contact can lead to strict release conditions that restrict contact with a partner, family member, child, or home.

We review the allegation, the disclosure, and your conditions, and explain the options available. Learn more about domestic assault defence in Regina.

Impaired Driving (DUI) Charges

Impaired driving charges — including driving over 0.08, drug-impaired driving, and refusal allegations — carry licence, insurance, and criminal consequences. These cases are fact-specific and often turn on how the roadside demand, the breath or blood testing, and your Charter rights were handled.

We review the disclosure for triable issues and explain your realistic options. Learn more about DUI and impaired driving defence in Regina.

Drug Charges

Drug charges under the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act range from simple possession to possession for the purpose of trafficking, trafficking, and production. How the evidence was obtained, the search and seizure, and whether your Charter rights were respected are often central to the defence.

We examine the disclosure and the circumstances of the search, and advise you accordingly. Learn more about drug charge defence in Regina.

Bail Hearings, Release Conditions & First Appearances

After an arrest, a person may be released by police with conditions or held for a bail hearing. Release conditions can be strict and apply immediately — for example no-contact conditions, no-go areas, weapons restrictions, or curfews. These conditions must be followed unless they are changed through the proper legal process.

We can assist with bail hearings, first appearances, and applications to vary conditions, and we explain what each step in the criminal process means.

Your Rights & Possible Outcomes

A person charged with a criminal offence is presumed innocent and has the right to legal advice, the right to silence, the right to disclosure, and the right to a fair trial. Defence planning starts with the facts and the evidence.

Depending on the charge, the evidence, and your circumstances, a case may resolve through a withdrawal, diversion, a peace bond, a discharge, a plea, or a trial. A peace bond is not a finding of guilt, but it does create conditions that must be followed. No outcome is guaranteed — the right approach depends on the evidence and the law.

When Criminal Charges Affect Work, Licensing, or Immigration

Criminal charges can create problems beyond criminal court. They may affect employment, professional licensing, volunteer roles, immigration status, travel, housing, and family court matters.

Professionals, students, temporary residents, permanent residents, and people working in regulated industries should get advice early because a criminal case can affect more than one part of life.

Appointment

Scheduling that puts time in your hands.

    Can criminal charges be dropped if the complainant does not want to proceed?
    In most cases the Crown, not the complainant, decides whether a charge continues. The complainant’s views may be considered, but the decision rests with the Crown. We review the disclosure and the Crown’s position and explain any realistic options.
    Will I have a criminal record if I am convicted?
    A conviction can result in a criminal record. The outcome depends on the charge, the evidence, your background, and the sentence ordered by the court. In some cases other resolutions may be discussed, but they are not guaranteed.
    What happens at a bail hearing or first appearance?
    After arrest you may be released with conditions or held for a bail hearing. At a first appearance the charge is confirmed and disclosure is requested. We can help with bail, first appearances, and applications to change conditions.
    How long does a criminal case take to resolve?
    Timelines depend on the court schedule, disclosure, negotiations, and whether the case resolves early or goes to trial. Some matters resolve quickly; others take longer. We keep you informed at each step.
    Do you defend DUI and drug charges as well as assault?
    Yes. SPS Law Group LLP defends impaired driving (DUI), drug charges under the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act, domestic and other assault allegations, bail matters, and related charges in Regina and across Saskatchewan.
    What should I bring to a first consultation about a criminal charge?
    Bring your release papers, court documents, any police paperwork, and anything connected to the charge such as text messages, photos, emails, or witness information, plus any immigration documents that may be relevant.
