A client of criminal lawyer Luc Simard had been charged with shoplifting (Section 334 of the Criminal Code of Canada). He was a landed immigrant in Canada. A criminal record for shoplifting could have interfered with his career. The client admitted having committed the theft. Mr. Simard discussed the case with the Prosecutor. The client pleaded guilty as charged; then the Judge, on the parties’ suggestion, granted him a conditional discharge, subject to a $ 500 donation and not returning to the store where the crime was committed for 1 year.
The clients of criminal lawyer Simard are not all granted a discharge. See notice.
