What to know about Criminal lawyers

Criminal law in Canada is federal, and it is applied in courts run by the provinces. Justice Canada describes provincial and territorial courts as the courts that try most criminal offences, with superior courts handling the most serious matters and courts of appeal hearing appeals from them. A criminal lawyer is the person who stands between an accused and that machinery, from the first phone call after an arrest through to a resolution, a trial or an appeal.
