Toronto, ON – Pyzer Criminal Lawyers, a trusted criminal defence firm in downtown Toronto, announces the expansion of its defence services focused on weapons and firearms offences. The firm provides comprehensive legal representation for individuals facing serious weapons-related charges across Toronto and Ontario.

Weapons and firearms offences in Canada carry significant penalties, including hefty fines and long-term incarceration. Pyzer Criminal Lawyers recognizes the serious impact these charges can have on an individual's future and is dedicated to defending clients with diligence. As firearms and weapons laws become increasingly complex, having experienced legal counsel is critical for successfully navigating these cases.

Defence Services for Weapons and Firearms Charges in Toronto

The Criminal Code of Canada defines a "weapon" as any object used or intended to cause harm or threaten someone, even items not typically seen as weapons, such as a set of keys if used in a harmful manner. Some items, including firearms, are classified as restricted or prohibited under Canadian law, adding further legal challenges.

Pyzer Criminal Lawyers has a history of defending against a wide range of weapons and firearms charges. The firm’s legal team prepares each case thoroughly, examining all possible defences to protect clients' rights. They challenge charges ranging from possession of prohibited firearms to weapons trafficking and using a firearm during the commission of an offence.

Jonathan Pyzer, senior defence lawyer at the firm, stresses the importance of a well-rounded defence strategy: "Weapons offences can have life-altering consequences. It’s essential for individuals charged with these offences to have experienced legal representation to secure the best possible outcome."

Pyzer Criminal Lawyers defends against various serious charges. These include possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose, where individuals are accused of carrying a weapon, prohibited device, or ammunition with intent to cause harm or disturb public peace. The firm also handles cases involving unauthorised possession of firearms, where individuals are alleged to have firearms without the necessary permits.

Additionally, the firm provides strategic defence in weapons trafficking cases, where clients face allegations of illegally manufacturing, transferring, or distributing firearms. Other common charges include careless use of a firearm and pointing a firearm, where threats are made by aiming a weapon at another person. Each of these charges carries serious legal consequences, and Pyzer Criminal Lawyers is well-equipped to navigate the complexities of these cases.

At Pyzer Criminal Lawyers, defence strategies are tailored to the specifics of each client’s case. Their approach includes exploring potential Charter rights violations, such as challenging evidence obtained through unlawful searches, which can lead to key evidence being excluded. In cases where individuals may have committed offences under coercion, the firm employs the defence of duress, showing that the client acted under the immediate threat of harm.

For those facing firearm-related charges, the firm may argue legitimate possession, proving the individual had proper legal authorization for activities like hunting or sport shooting. Pyzer Criminal Lawyers also presents the "mistake of fact" defence, showing that the accused genuinely believed their possession or use of the weapon was lawful. Each strategy is carefully crafted to protect the client’s rights and seek the best possible outcome.
