In Canada everyone has the right to be presumed innocent until proven guilty. Just because the police charged you, does not mean that you are 'guilty'. You have the right to due process, the right to a fair trial, and the right to be represented by a lawyer who will fight for these rights among many other things.
At Burnside Law Group, we can assist both employers and employees in developing strategies for limiting workplace liability during all phases of the employment relationship, from recruitment through retirement or termination. When workplaces have already become disputed, Burnside Law Group's team has ample experience in negotiating outcomes for their clients.

These disputes can be particularly painful, as they involve former spouses and children. Overlapping with this are concerns about financial security. At Burnside Law Group, our family law team has experience in negotiating low-cost solutions and guiding clients through this process.

I could tell with Derek that I was in very good hands, and there was no doubt in my mind of his commitment to working diligently for me to ensure the best possible outcome. He is
