Defence of Serious or Violent Crime Charges
Serious crimes demand a skilled defence. I am Michael R. Shapray, B.A., a Vancouver lawyer who has successfully defended clients charged with the most serious and violent offences, including:
- Murder (homicide)
- Manslaughter, including vehicular manslaughter
- Assault
- Aggravated assault
- Assault with a weapon
- Criminal negligence causing death
If you have been arrested for a violent offence, please call 604-725-4300 or e-mail my law firm. I offer a free initial consultation to review your case and describe how I can help.
Preparation is the key to success in all areas of criminal defence, but especially in assault and murder charges. I fully prepare each case to a very high standard and am willing to take your case to trial. Not every lawyer will do so.
I am proud of the results I have achieved for my clients, including:
- R. v. P.L. Attempted murder charges against wife resolved with NOT GUILTY finding after defence of automatism raised through comprehensive expert evidence and legal submissions.
- R. v. R.D.S. Road rage charges involving alleged use of a weapon DROPPED for Peace Bond prior to trial — NO CRIMINAL RECORD.
I consider you a partner in the resolution of your legal issue. I will advise you of any options that become available to you as we move through the process. While I will give you my recommendation based on my years of legal experience, you will decide whether to go to trial or accept a pre-trial settlement offer.
It costs you nothing to discuss your case. Please call 604-725-4300 or e-mail my law firm to arrange a free initial consultation. I maintain offices in Vancouver and Surrey, British Columbia.
