This case that ended in February 2018 was an example of a specially well crafted negotiation carried out by a criminal lawyer of our firm.
Two persons who worked in the same business went to a Montreal department store to exchange a vacuum cleaner that had been purchased shortly before. Because of confusion in the undertaking, they ended up leaving the store without paying for a new vacuum cleaner and were therefore charged with several offences: trafficking (Sections 354 and 355 Criminal Code), fraud (Section (380 (1) b) ii) Criminal Code) and conspiracy (Section 465 (1) d) Criminal Code). The circumstances were very incriminating.
After Mr Sébastien Gagné analysed the evidence and heard in detail the version of his clients, he determined that the best strategy would be to negotiate a solution with the Prosecutor. He gathered various pieces of evidence to show the impact that a conviction would have on his clients, as well as the context in which the incident had occurred.
After a few Court dates, the news was released: the Prosecutor agreed to drop the charges once the defendants gave a charity donation.
These results cannot be reached by all Mr Gagné’s clients. See notice.
