Upon release from the police station or court following a bail hearing, you will be assigned a date for your initial appearance before a justice of the peace. When represented by Randall Baran and Marcel Buchler, your presence will only be required when absolutely necessary, sparing you from attending this first court appearance and subsequent ones.
The initial appearance holds significant value, as it provides us with specific details about your case, such as the particulars of the charge(s), and for us to obtain the Crown disclosure, should it be available. The Crown disclosure may encompass witness statements, police notes, certain notices, and reports, essentially outlining the case against you.
