Criminal lawyer Xavier Cormier represented a client charged with mischief under $ 5,000 (Section 430 (1) a) (4) b) of the Criminal Code). This client had no criminal record and wished to avoid having one.
According to the prosecutors, the client had been caught red-handed committing the offence. Mr. Cormier set a date for the trial. He took measures so that the damages would be reimbursed by the client and undertook negotiations with the Prosecutor. The latter agreed to drop the charges against the client, who was acquitted.
Not all of Mr. Cormier’s clients are acquitted. See notice.
