Sentencing in Victoria

Criminal-Sentencing-Toronto

Once either a judge or jury has found you guilty of an offence, the matter proceeds to sentencing. During the sentencing process, the judge hears from the Crown prosecutor and the defence lawyer as to what the appropriate sentence should be, and why.

In assessing the positions put forward by Crown and Defence, the Judge must keep in mind all the principles of sentencing set out in the Criminal Code, as well as any minimum or maximum sentence for any particular offence. A good place to start before any sentencing, therefore, is the Criminal Code.

Without hesitation, I would recommend Elizabeth Weisenburger to defend anyone in a criminal case. Her unrivalled knowledge of the law helped me be acquitted of assault charges. Elizabeth’s hard work and amazing strategy in court and under pressure far surpass any expectations I had. She is professional, non-judgmental and she looks out for her clients best interest. Thank you.

Elizabeth and team did a phenomenal job in looking after my case. As I wasn’t familiar at all with the whole process, she educated me and made everything extremely easy from start to finish. I received excellent value for her service and would wholeheartedly recommend Elizabeth and the rest of the team at the firm. Thank you so much, Elizabeth!
