Vaughan Criminal Defence Lawyer

Jake Shen represents clients facing criminal charges in Vaughan and York Region. His former police experience informs a careful review of how an investigation was conducted, what evidence was gathered and whether legal or Charter issues may arise.

When someone faces criminal charges, a criminal defence lawyer carefully examines the police investigation and reviews the evidence collected during the investigation. The purpose is to understand the case against the client and determine whether the evidence supports the allegations.

This review may involve witness statements, photographs, DNA evidence, fingerprints, wiretap evidence, video recordings, and other investigative materials. A lawyer also examines how the evidence was obtained and whether proper procedures were followed.

By thoroughly reviewing the police investigation, a criminal defence lawyer may uncover weaknesses, inconsistencies, errors, or potential illegalities. Identifying these issues can help challenge the prosecution’s case and provide the foundation for building a strong defence for the client.
