Richmond Hill sits in the heart of York Region and sends its criminal matters to the Newmarket Courthouse. It is an affluent community where many clients have no prior criminal history and are dealing with charges that arose from a moment of poor judgment rather than any pattern of conduct. That profile matters enormously at sentencing and in negotiations with the Crown. I consistently work to ensure that a first-time offender's background and community standing are fully presented, because Crown attorneys and judges do take these factors into account.
