Challenging your Record

An individual’s criminal record documents their official contact or involvement with the criminal justice system. It is used by numerous federal and provincial agencies, as well as United States customs and immigration authorities and state police. The content of a criminal record can carry significant consequences for anyone and may restrict an individual’s personal activities including employment, volunteering, travel to the United States and other international destinations.

Our firm has experience assisting individuals in obtaining and challenging their criminal record. In addition, Peck and Company lawyers have worked with the Uniform Law Conference of Canada to advocate for nation-wide policy development aimed at ensuring consistency within the record and use of an individual’s information.

We are also able to assist with record suspension (pardon) applications, in addition to recourse options to reconsider non-conviction information in vulnerable sector checks.
