Defences To Fraud, Theft, And Robbery Charges
Virk Barristers have a proven record of successful outcomes in fraud, theft, and robbery charges. You can rely on us to protect you from getting a criminal record, jail time, and other consequences.
Lack Of Intent
Under the Canadian Criminal Code, the Crown must prove intent beyond a reasonable doubt. We can argue that you lacked fraudulent intent or acted without a dishonest purpose to ensure acquittal from fraud, theft, and robbery charges.
Duress
Our criminal defence lawyer can claim you committed the offence under threat of immediate harm or in emergency circumstances. Canadian courts recognize duress with proper proof as a solid defence, allowing you to avoid charges.
Mistaken Belief
A mistaken belief defence can help you reduce your charges if you genuinely believed the stolen asset belonged to you. We can collect sufficient evidence and witness testimonies to prove the claim.
What Is The Punishment For Fraud, Theft, And Robbery Charges?
The punishment for fraud, theft, and robbery depends on the exact charge against you. For example, you may face imprisonment of two to ten years for theft charges.
Meanwhile, the punishment for robbery charges ranges from a prison sentence of five years to life imprisonment. Having an experienced fraud, theft, and robbery lawyer beside you can make all the difference when facing criminal charges.
