Charges for theft under $ 5,000 (Section 334b) (ii) Criminal Code), use of a stolen credit card (Section 342 (1)c)f) Criminal Code) and fraud under a value of $ 5,000 (Section 380 (1)b)(ii) Criminal Code) had been laid on a client of a criminal lawyer working for Cormier Simard. She had been accused of stealing a credit card and purchasing goods for a value of around $ 500.
This client was guilty of the actions charged but had to avoid having a criminal record because she had to travel to the United States for her work.
Carlos Bolivar, from our law firm, then asked her to group certain documents proving that to have a criminal record would harm her. Afterwards, he negotiated with the Prosecutor to have the client receive an absolute discharge. The client made a $ 800 charity donation. The Judge agreed to let the client benefit from a discharge.
Not all our law firm’s clients receive a discharge. See notice.
