Over the years we’ve represented clients from many different backgrounds, with charges that range from minor to extremely serious. Our advice and protection are based on real courtroom experience and knowing what really works and what doesn’t.

We handle criminal cases of all types and levels of complexity. Whether it’s a first-time offence or a more serious allegation, we approach every case with careful planning and attention to detail. Below are the key areas where we regularly provide criminal defence.
Violent offencesThis includes physical altercations, verbal threats, or allegations of violence. Each case is context-specific — our goal is to assess what actually happened and what your best options are moving forward. |
Illegal substance offencesFrom personal possession to more serious trafficking allegations, these cases often involve search issues or questions about intent. We examine the details carefully and pursue the most practical resolution available. |
Firearms and weaponsThese may involve possession, storage, or use. Such cases often come down to police conduct, ownership issues, or broader context. We look at whether the charge holds up under scrutiny and act accordingly. |
Fraud and financial chargesWe defend clients facing fraud, theft, money laundering, embezzlement, and other financial crimes. With experience handling both individual and corporate-level cases, we build strong defences tailored to complex financial allegations. |
Impaired drivingCharges involving impaired driving, refusal to provide a sample, or dangerous driving can affect both your record and your future ability to drive. We focus on the accuracy of testing procedures, and rights compliance to reach the most beneficial resolution. |
Theft chargesWe advise on matters ranging from shoplifting to fraud and breach of trust. These charges can carry lasting professional or financial consequences, so our focus is often on resolving them in a way that minimizes long-term harm. |
Criminal organizationsOur team represents those accused of participation in gang-related activity, criminal conspiracy. These cases demand strategic thinking and a strong understanding of how to challenge the evidence and the narrative behind it. |
Youth court casesWhen someone under 18 is charged, the process is different, and so is the approach. We represent underage clients with attention to both legal outcomes and longer-term impact, such as school or future employment. |
Internet-based offencesOnline activity is increasingly subject to criminal scrutiny. These cases often rely on complex digital evidence — our approach focuses on scrutinizing how that evidence was obtained, interpreted, and presented. |

The De Krupe Law team focuses on the circumstances that can change the outcome of your case, overseeing every littlest detail. We want to hear your version, then look deeper, analyzing how the evidence was gathered, who was involved, and where the gaps are. Then, we walk you through different paths of what’s realistic, what’s risky, and what can be pushed.
Every case has a point where things can turn. We find that point early and use it to your advantage. If you’re facing a criminal charge in Toronto, we will thoroughly examine the situation and circumstances around it, coming up with a precise plan.
