After committing a certain action, an individual was arrested by the police in Montreal at the end of a long pursuit. When he was arrested, his motorcycle was seized. He was charged with dangerous driving under Section 249 Criminal Code(now 320.13 of the Criminal Code),
evading the police (Section 249.1 Criminal Code) and possession of narcotics. This client hired a criminal lawyer from our law firm to defend him. He wished to recover his motorcycle that was in the hands of the police during the legal procedures.
Mrs. Vallelonga sent the Prosecutor a request to return the seized property in accordance with Section 490 of the Criminal Code. She also forwarded a subpoena to the investigator in the case in order to question him on the reasons for this restraint. The Court Clerk set a date for the hearing. On the day of the hearing, Mrs. Vallelonga undertook negotiations with the Prosecutor. After these discussions, the prosecution agreed to return the seized motorcycle to the client, even though the trial had not yet begun.
Not all Mrs. Vallelonga’s clients win their cases. See notice.
