01

Free Consultation

Speak directly with a criminal defence lawyer who will assess your situation, explain your options, and identify immediate risks. You’ll leave the call knowing exactly where you stand and what to do next.

02

Strategic Defence Plan

No case is exactly the same, so it’s vital to find a lawyer who knows the law and is well-practiced to find a defence strategy and end result that you deserve.

03

Legal Representation

From bail hearings to trial, we handle every step. We deal with prosecutors, challenge evidence, and fight to protect your freedom, record, and future.

Criminal Defence Services

To avoid a criminal conviction, you need a well-practiced Calgary lawyer who has experience in all areas of criminal law. Hiring the right criminal defence lawyer could be the difference between walking free, reduced sentencing, or a lengthy period of imprisonment.

Sexual Assault

These cases often come down to credibility and evidence gaps. We aggressively challenge inconsistencies and protect your rights at every stage.

Domestic Assault

Emotions run high, but charges move fast. We work to secure release, manage no-contact conditions, and pursue withdrawal or resolution.

Drug Trafficking

Searches, seizures, and police procedure matter. If your rights were violated, we move to exclude evidence and weaken the case.

Bail Hearings

Your release is critical. We act quickly to secure bail with the least restrictive conditions possible.

Property Crimes

From theft to fraud, we focus on minimizing penalties, avoiding a criminal record, and resolving cases efficiently where possible.

Internet /Cyber Crime

Digital evidence is complex and often flawed. We scrutinize how it was obtained and challenge its reliability in court.

We need more people like Jillian in this world. She took on our case when others made it difficult. She set expectations early on and worked with us throughout the legal process. We have never had any dealings with the law before this. She gave us hope and really worked hard to get us a positive outcome. I can not say enough good things about her. She even gave us some life advice outside of the legal matters. She is worth every penny she charges. My wife and I are so immensely grateful for Jillian and her team. I highly recommend Jillian for any legal matters.
