The Crown Pre-Trial
The Crown pre-trial is often the most important meeting in a York Region case. The Crown sets out its position and any offer to resolve the case, and we respond with the weaknesses we found in the disclosure, any Charter problems and information about you that the Crown may not know. A well-prepared defence at this stage frequently leads to a withdrawal, diversion or a much better offer than the one first put on the table.
The Judicial Pre-Trial
In a judicial pre-trial, a judge who will not hear your trial meets privately with the Crown and defence. The judge may give a candid view of the strengths of each side and the likely sentence if you were convicted. This can help both sides see the case realistically. Your participation is usually through your lawyer, and what is said cannot be used at trial.
Preparing for Trial
Trial preparation starts long before the trial date. We file Charter applications on time, interview witnesses, retain experts where needed and prepare you to testify if you choose to. We also prepare detailed cross-examinations of each Crown witness based on their statements and notes. Many cases resolve on or just before the trial date because the Crown sees the defence is ready.

Newmarket Criminal Lawyer FAQs
-
Not always. In most cases, your lawyer can file a designation of counsel, which allows the lawyer to appear on your behalf for routine appearances. You must still attend in person when the court requires it, such as for your trial, a guilty plea or a sentencing hearing, unless the judge permits otherwise. We will tell you clearly which dates need you.
-
Disclosure is the Crown's evidence: police notes, witness statements, video, photos and lab reports. You are entitled to all relevant disclosure so you can make full answer and defence. Initial disclosure is usually available at or soon after the first appearance, with more added later. We review every item and push for anything missing.
-
Simple cases that resolve early may finish in a few months. Cases that go to trial in the Ontario Court of Justice often take a year or longer. The Charter requires a trial within a reasonable time, and long delays caused by the Crown or the court can lead to a stay. We keep the case moving and avoid defence delay.
-
A Charter application asks the court to find that police or the Crown breached your constitutional rights, for example through an unlawful search, a delayed call to a lawyer or unreasonable trial delay. If the judge agrees, the remedy can include excluding evidence or staying the charges. These applications must be filed in writing before trial, with notice to the Crown, so we prepare them early.
-
Arrive early, dress as you would for an important meeting and meet us before court begins. Trials can be delayed while other matters are dealt with, so plan to be at the courthouse all day. The Crown calls its witnesses first, we cross-examine them, and then you decide with us whether to call evidence. The judge may give a decision that day or later.
