Criminal lawyers in Saint-Jérôme

Whether you face an impaired driving, assault, theft, drug or fraud charge, it helps to talk to a lawyer who regularly handles that kind of case. When you compare profiles, look at the charges they defend, the languages they work in, whether they offer a consultation in person or remotely, and their rates, which you can see before you book.

If you were just arrested or released with conditions, don't wait for your court date to get advice. A local lawyer can review your conditions, explain what to expect at your first appearance and, when needed, speak with the prosecutor on your behalf.

Where criminal cases are heard

In Quebec, most criminal cases are heard by the Court of Québec, Criminal and Penal Division, at the courthouse that serves the area where the offence allegedly happened. Some serious cases go to the Superior Court. Your summons or release papers name the courthouse and your first date. Éducaloi has plain-language guides on how the criminal process works.

Preparing your first consultation

• Any documents you received: summons, promise to appear, undertaking or release order.
• Your release conditions, and any you are finding hard to respect.
• Your next court date and the courthouse named on your papers.
• A short written account of what happened, kept for your lawyer only.
• Your questions: what the charge means, your options, and how the lawyer charges.

In person or remote

Many lawyers offer consultations by video or phone as well as in person, so you are not limited to offices in Saint-Jérôme. For court appearances, your lawyer will tell you when you need to be there yourself. Check each profile for the formats and languages offered.
