Criminal law cases are highly stressful. When you are on the verge of facing a criminal conviction, you need a lawyer who is experienced and well-versed with criminal law.

They know that the defence lawyer you choose is the deciding factor of whether you would be able to get a reduced sentence or walk free. Following are some of the cases that are handled by a criminal lawyer.
Animal Cruelty
A good criminal lawyer is a must when you are facing animal cruelty or abuse charges. Depending on the circumstances there are, the lawyer cab comes with a defence that can be helpful to the case.
Homicide
The sentencing in homicide cases is quite severe. When you are facing a murder charge, you need to find a criminal lawyer who has the required expertise. It is this experience and knowledge which can help in avoiding the maximum jail time. This will help to reduce the legal damage that is done to you. But it can’t help in the acquittal or dismissal of charges.
Appeal
The process of appeals can be highly complicated. Hiring the ideal appellate lawyer can help to reverse or even remove the charges from your record. The lawyers at Alberta Legal have the necessary expertise to help you with just that.
Youth Offences
The rules and legislation in place for youth courts is different. When you are looking for a lawyer to defend your child, you need to find someone well-versed in this area. The team at Alberta Legal are highly qualified in practising juvenile criminal justice. They will work to ensure that the best possible defence is provided while fighting the case.
Kidnapping
Kidnapping is a serious crime that can result in severe sentencing. When you are charged with forcible confinement, abduction or kidnapping-related charges, you need a strategic defence. Only that can be helpful at this point in time. The lawyer you hire should have the knowledge required to build such a defence.
Bail Hearings
A bail hearing needs to be handled with tact and care. The way it is handled is the difference between being released while waiting for trial or staying in the holding cell until then. At Alberta Legal, the lawyers have the negotiations skills required to help you be released on bail.
Fraud and Theft
One of the most common white-collar crimes is Fraud. Being faced with such a charge can completely derail your life. Having an expert lawyer can prevent you from facing the fines or the sentences associated with the charges.
Domestic Abuse
Domestic abuse cases can be tricky to handle. When such a charge is made, it can lead the accused to be fined or face a lengthy sentence. It can also cause them to lose touch with the family or lose out on custody rights. The lawyers at Alberta Legal can help to prevent this from happening.
