Karen Bastow and David Milburn are very experienced trial lawyers and Avi Nayyar has been practicing for more than 5 years. We defend all criminal charges, from minor to serious. We have an excellent record of success and are especially expert defending sexual assault charges, and civil claims of sexual assault, both recent and historical. For a recent win published in the press on sexual assault charges see: Kelowna-teacher-found-not-guilty-of-child-luring (note that for cases not reported in the press, we do not publish details of cases on our web-site sufficient to identify the client).
We defend all drug charges, from trafficking to export and related civil processes, such as civil forfeiture. We will work to get your property back from the government as fast as possible. We also have an excellent record of success for employee theft and fraud.
