FAQ

Criminal charge questions, answered

I've been charged with a criminal offence — what should I do first?

Do not discuss the details with police or anyone else before getting representation. Contact X-Copper for a free, confidential review so we can protect your rights from the start.

Will a criminal charge give me a permanent record?

A charge is not a conviction. Only a finding of guilt creates a record. Early, strategic defence gives the best chance of avoiding or minimizing that outcome.

What's the difference between “impaired driving” and “over 80”?

“Impaired” means your ability to drive was affected by alcohol or drugs; “over 80” means a blood-alcohol concentration over the legal limit regardless of visible impairment. Both are serious Criminal Code offences we defend.

Can I still travel to the U.S. with a criminal charge?

A pending charge or conviction can affect border admissibility. It's important to resolve the matter properly — we can explain how your specific charge may impact travel.
