Frequently Asked Questions Our Criminal Lawyers Get

How much does it cost to hire a criminal lawyer in BC or Canada?

The cost of hiring a criminal lawyer in British Columbia or Canada varies significantly depending on the complexity of the case, the lawyer’s experience, and the region. For minor charges, fees typically range from $1,000 to $5,000. More complex cases, such as those involving trials or appeals, can start at $2,500 and exceed $10,000, especially for serious legal matters. Hourly rates for criminal lawyers can range from $150 to over $1,000, with many requiring an upfront retainer fee. It’s essential to discuss fee structures and payment options with your lawyer to understand the financial commitment.

If you cannot afford a lawyer in Canada, you may be eligible for legal aid. Legal aid programs are available in every province and territory, providing assistance to individuals facing criminal charges without the financial means to hire a lawyer.

Hiring a criminal lawyer is crucial as they provide expert advice, represent your interests in court, help navigate the complexities of legal procedures, and work towards achieving the best possible outcome in your case. Without a lawyer on your side, you leave yourself to the mercy of the prosecutors, whose job does not place your best interests at the forefront.

The maximum income to qualify for legal aid in BC varies based on household size and the type of legal assistance required. Generally, a single individual must earn less than approximately $20,000 annually.
To clear your criminal record in BC, you must apply for a record suspension (formerly known as a pardon). This process involves several steps, including proving that you have completed your sentence and demonstrated law-abiding behavior for a specified period.

In Canada, criminal records do not automatically clear after 7 years. To remove a criminal record, an application for a record suspension must be made and granted. Without this, a criminal record remains accessible under standard criminal record checks.
