Just being charged with a crime can be life changing. It's just you against all the power of the government. If convicted, you may receive a criminal record or jail time, which can permanently change your personal and professional opportunities. For one of the most impactful events in your life, you need an experienced professional from the start.
It can affect your work opportunities. Employers may ask you about your criminal record and deny you a job as a result. You may be fired from your job, especially if you work in a sensitive field like accounting, banking, childcare, medicine, or security. If you are not a Canadian citizen, your citizenship application may be denied, or you may be deported to your country of origin and banned from entering Canada again.

A person who is unhappy with a court decision - whether at a trial, sentencing, or other step in the court process - may appeal the decision. This means asking a higher court (like the Court of Appeal or Supreme Court of Canada) to consider whether the original decision was correct. In an appeal, you may be the appellant (the person appealing the order) or the respondent (the person who has to respond to the appeal).
