Don Morrison: Professional Profile
February, 2012
People charged with criminal offences are sometimes not guilty at all and virtually always not as guilty as a prosecutor would make them out to be. That's why people need lawyers to defend them.
Having an effective advocate may mean the difference between going to jail and staying out of jail, or ending up with a serious criminal record or avoiding one. As your lawyer, I will promise to protect your legal rights, ensure you are dealt with fairly and give you sound and honest advice.
With 20 years experience in criminal law, both as a defence counsel and as a prosecutor, it is my goal in every case to provide effective and innovative representation to persons charged with criminal offences.
I will handle criminal related matters, including serious matters such as federal Criminal Code offences, less serious Criminal Code charges, narcotics, and matters related to provincial law such as charges under the Motor Vehicle Act. Individuals requiring the assistance of a lawyer in a criminal matter, may retain me at any stage of the proceeding, including even before a charge is laid. I am also available to handle appeals. For qualified individuals, I also accept legal aid.
