Drug Offences

Peck and Company provides comprehensive representation in Criminal, Extradition, and Constitutional law. From high-stakes trials to appeals before the Supreme Court of Canada, our lawyers bring proven experience and unrelenting advocacy to every case.

Drug offences carry some of the most serious penalties in the Canadian criminal justice system. Further, they can prevent individuals from crossing international borders and can seriously limit future employment opportunities. Even the laying of drug-related charges can restrict international travel or the ability to obtain certain types of employment.

At Peck and Company, our lawyers have extensive experience in representing persons charged with drug-related offences. Peck and Company lawyers have addressed virtually every type of drug-offence matter, including:

  • Possession of a controlled substance;
  • Possession of a controlled substance for the purpose of trafficking;
  • Trafficking in a controlled substance;
  • Production of controlled substances; and
  • Importation.

Further, Peck and Company lawyers have assisted clients in facing charges relating to a range of controlled substances, including cocaine, ecstasy, methamphetamine, and cannabis and its derivatives.
