Sentencing

If you are facing sentencing for criminal charges in Nova Scotia courts, it is important to have an experienced criminal defence lawyer to review you matter and represent your interests.  The judge has a great deal of discretion at sentencing. The sentences can vary widely for similar offences depending upon the arguments your criminal defence lawyer will make and also, to some extent, the negotiations between the lawyer and Crown Attorney regarding facts, or the possibility of a joint recommendation on sentence, etc.
