I recently found myself in a very upsetting predicament. My son was arrested for an offence that if found guilty, could totally impact the future career path he has planned. He is a first time offender and most definitely made a bad choice, however, one bad choice can change your entire life. Sandy came highly recommended to me by a friend.

Tom Balka and his staff were wonderful to deal with. Our matter spanned over a year and a half and through it all, they were very professional.

Most importantly, Tom is a great lawyer. He provided great council to us and literally saved our son from life altering false accusations and charges. Tom ripped apart the complainant story in his prep and during the trial.

I would highly recommend Tom, Kayla, and the entire team. Thank you Tom for all you have done for our family.

Very best,
Paul M.
