VERNON

CRIMINAL DEFENCE LAWYERS

When a criminal or driving-related matter begins to affect your work, your licence, or your peace of mind, early legal advice can make a meaningful difference.

LEGAL MATTERS THAT SHOULD NOT BE TAKEN LIGHTLY

A criminal charge, roadside prohibition, or traffic-related allegation can create immediate disruption. People are often trying to understand not only the legal issue itself, but how it may affect employment, family responsibilities, mobility, and future opportunities. In that kind of situation, clear advice and careful preparation matter from the outset.

Our firm assists clients in Vernon with criminal and related matters that require a serious and practical response.

Murder & Manslaughter

Serious homicide charges demand immediate attention and a carefully planned defence.

Sexual Assault

Complex allegations where credibility, evidence and trial strategy can be decisive.

Assault & Domestic Assault

These cases often turn on context, credibility and what actually occurred.

Child Sexual Abuse Cases

Sensitive allegations requiring thorough preparation and close review of the evidence.

Drug Offenses

Drug cases often turn on searches, warrants, surveillance and Charter issues.

Firearms Charges

Firearms cases can involve licensing, storage, possession or serious criminal allegations.

Fraud & Financial Offences

Financial cases often depend on documents, transactions, context and intent.

Impaired Driving

Roadside investigations move quickly, but the evidence and police procedures still matter.

IRP & ADP Matters

Time-sensitive challenges to Immediate Roadside Prohibitions and Administrative Driving Prohibitions.

Traffic Tickets & Licensing

Traffic matters can affect your licence, driving record, insurance and livelihood.

Record Suspensions

A record suspension can help eligible people move beyond the lasting effects of a conviction.

Hunting & Wildlife Offences

Hunting and wildlife charges can put licences, privileges and livelihoods at risk.

Property Offences

Theft and property cases often turn on intent, identification and the surrounding circumstances.

Animal Cruelty Offences

Animal-related charges can involve disputed facts, care standards and expert evidence.

Other Legal Matters

Criminal and regulatory matters outside the usual categories still require the right strategy.

The history of Jensen Law remains part of the way we practise today. It reflects a longstanding commitment to criminal defence, a disciplined approach to courtroom work, and a standard of preparation that has been built over many years.
