Practice areas
Tom defends every criminal matter, not just the headline ones. If it puts your record, licence, job or freedom at risk, it is worth a phone call.
Roadside prohibitions, refusal charges and Criminal Code impaired driving, defended with a specialist's eye for procedure.
Trial defence at every level of court in BC, and appeals when the first result was not the right one.
Possession, trafficking and forfeiture proceedings, including challenges to search and seizure evidence.
Assault, domestic matters and serious violent charges up to and including murder, handled with discretion.
From credit card fraud to securities matters in the millions, for individuals and corporations.
Tickets and driving prohibitions that threaten your record, your insurance and your livelihood.
What happens when you call
Your call is returned personally, 24 hours a day. Weekends and holidays included, because arrests do not keep office hours.
Tom hears the facts, tells you where you actually stand, and what to do (and not do) right now. No charge for the first consultation.
Evidence gets challenged. Experts get retained when they help: private investigators, forensic accountants, reconstruction engineers and more.

No. Tom has appeared in almost every courthouse in British Columbia and travels anywhere in the province to handle a case.
Payment plans are available. Talk to Tom about your situation on the free consultation; the money conversation is part of it, with no surprises.
No. Every call is confidential and protected. Calling a lawyer is not an admission of anything; it is the smartest move available to you.
