Criminal Law


Advance
 

In this area of law, Norman Pickell

 
applies for pardons on behalf of clients, the result of which is to erase a criminal record


There are wide-reaching consequences of having a criminal record. A criminal record will have an effect on:
subsequent criminal charges;
obtaining and keeping a job;
travelling outside of Canada (and particularly to the United States);
community stigma; and
(in some cases) deportation from Canada.


Norman Pickell handled a wide variety of criminal law matters for the first 30 years that he was a lawyer. Now Norman restricts his criminal law work to applying for pardons for clients.
