Andrew Captan - Criminal Lawyer

Andrew Captan is an experienced Criminal Lawyer who is ready and willing to assist you with your legal defence.  Being charged with a crime, as well as the court process that follows, is a stressful, confusing and often complicated experience that nobody ever wants to go through.  Hiring an experienced Criminal Lawyer to protect your rights throughout this process is likely the most important step you can take after being charged.

Andrew Captan will work tirelessly to ensure that you receive the best possible legal representation.   As a client, you will work directly with Mr. Captan, rather than a law student or legal assistant, in building your defence.  You will be updated regularly throughout your case to keep you informed about progress, next steps and potential outcomes.

From the outset of his career, Mr. Captan has strictly focused his practice on Criminal Defence Law, dedicating his time to defending individuals in some of their most vulnerable moments in life.   He represents individuals charged with crimes under the Criminal Code of Canada and the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act; he represents both adults and youths (individuals under 18); he assists individuals who are charged with both minor and serious crimes, from Domestic Assault, Shoplifting and Mischief to Aggravated Assault, Attempted Murder and Sexual Assault; and he aims to do so while offering affordable legal fees in order to ensure everyone has a fair chance at justice.

For most clients, Mr. Captan offers block fee billing, leaving you with no uncertainty with respect to what you are required to pay.  Fees are discussed up front and reduced to writing in the form of a Retainer Agreement, so there are no surprises.  Mr. Captan also offers flexible and individualized payment plans so that you can manage his fees along with your other ongoing expenses.
