  • Who is considered a Youth?

    Youths are individuals below the age of 18 years. There are certain Youths crimes for which they can be arrested, but a court can see Youths as adults in a few instances.

  • Can a minor hire a lawyer?

    People younger than 18 years of age cannot legally bind a contract with an attorney. Therefore, a legal guardian or a parent pursue such representation, or the courts provide the child with a public defender.

  • How to protect the child’s rights?

    As a guardian or a parent, you need to know and understand the fundamental rights of your children in case they get arrested. Legally, investigators or police officers are required to inform the parents that their child is in custody. The guardian can then take any necessary legal action with the help of an attorney.

    Yes! Criminal defence lawyers can help you understand the course of action in case somebody gets arrested, deal with the legal processes, and know the rights one has as a criminal offender. 


    Criminal offences are sometimes severe and you could be facing prison, jail, fines, probation, restitution, and other sanctions. Our Sinclair criminal attorneys in Edmonton and surrounding areas will assist you through the proceedings and understanding the nature of your charges.

  • Do I need a criminal defence lawyer?

    Whether you are being arrested, prosecuted, or questioned, you must hire a criminal defence attorney when you become the subject of an inquiry. A lawyer can help you safeguard your lawful rights and prevent a case. Without a lawyer, there is the possibility you can be charged with the crime and face harsher penalties when you may not even have committed any wrongdoing in the first place.

  • What should you expect from criminal defence attorney?

    You can expect to be made aware of the charge(s) against you and the potential defences. While no lawyer can guarantee the result of your case, the seasoned attorneys at Sinclair Law Office will work to make sure you understand the procedure and help you make a sound decision.
