Kasper Law
We provide sensitive advice and determined representation in criminal and related matters in all levels of court.
Practice Areas
Criminal Trials
We represent individuals charged with criminal and quasi-criminal offences. We act at all stages of a criminal charge, from providing pre-charge advice to representation at a trial.
Criminal Appeals
We represent individuals in criminal appeals in all levels of court. We regularly act on appeals against conviction and sentence.
Child Protection and Secure Treatment
Our firm acts in select child protection and secure treatment matters. We represent children and youth in these proceedings as an agent for the Office of the Children's Lawyer.
Additional Matters
We provide advice and representation in other matters related to the criminal justice system. For example, we have represented clients in post-conviction proceedings (parole hearings and habeas corpus proceedings) and acted for public interest groups as interveners in criminal appeals.
