Criminal Code Offences
Clear Guidance.
Compassionate Representation.
Real Support.
Facing a criminal charge—no matter how minor it may seem—can feel intimidating, confusing, and isolating. At Boyd Paralegal, we understand how stressful this moment can be. Our role is to give you honest information, practical guidance, and respectful representation, so you can move forward with clarity and confidence.
Understanding Summary Criminal Charges
Summary offences are considered lower-level criminal matters in Ontario, but they are still serious. A conviction may affect your personal life, career, and future opportunities. These cases are typically resolved faster than more serious criminal charges, yet the outcomes can still carry long-term consequences.
Examples of summary offences include:
- Theft under $5,000
- Minor assault-related allegations
- Property damage or mischief
- Public disturbance or intoxication offences
- Trespassing and similar conduct matters
Because these cases move quickly through the court system, early and informed legal support is critical.
