Ottawa Criminal Defence - Indigenous Law
The destructive effects of colonialism have deeply affected the Indigenous community. We know that systemic racism continues to impact the rights of the Indigenous. We want to fight back against that racism and the consequences of the historic injustices suffered by the Indigenous community. We will be a strong advocate for you.
We understand that for many of the Indigenous, and for good reasons, there is a serious mistrust of the police and the courts. For many years we have dedicated our time and energy to the advancement of Indigenous rights through our legal practice and volunteer work at the Wabano Centre and Odawa Native Friendship Centre. For over a decade, we have provided thousands of hours of volunteer legal services for the Indigenous and taken on cases free of charge. We do this because we agree with you that inequality continues to plague our public institutions. We are on your side.
Canadian criminal law contains aspects unique to an Indigenous person before the court. Knowing, understanding and utilizing those aspects is a skill set that only comes with experience. We have assisted hundreds of clients in this area of law. You deserve the strongest advocacy possible and you will get that from our firm.
