Practice Areas

Impaired Driving

Impaired driving (also known as a DUI) captures a wide range of criminal alcohol and drug driving-related conduct and is one of the more common criminal offences in Edmonton.

Domestic Violence

Domestic Violence refers to a range of offences that are inflicted on a person with whom you have an intimate or family relationship. This includes individuals like your common-law partner, husband, wife, children, boyfriend or girlfriend.

Violent Offences

The term ‘Violent Offences’ refers to a number of very serious crimes including homicide, attempted murder, robbery, uttering threats, criminal harassment, and criminal confinement.

Drug Offences

Drug offences are listed under federal legislation called the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act (“CDSA”), not under the Canadian Criminal Code. Because drugs are under federal jurisdiction, matters must be negotiated with Federal Crown Prosecutors, rather than Provincial Crown Prosecutors.

Youth Offences

Youth offences are crimes committed by young offenders between the ages of 12 and 17. Even though a different act governs the prosecution of youths, all of the crimes specified by the Criminal Code of Canada are applicable to young offenders.

Assaulting A Peace Officer

Assaulting a peace officer is a charge classified under “Offences Against the Person and Reputation” in the Criminal Code. This offence has the same elements and maximum punishments as a conviction for common assault, but it specifies that the victim be a peace officer.

Criminal Driving

Criminal driving encompasses multiple motor vehicle offences in the Criminal Code, and is different from charges under the Traffic Safety Act of Alberta.

Assault & Threats

To be found guilty of assault, all that is needed is proof that you intentionally applied some amount of unwanted force to another person, and that the other person did not consent to the application of force.

Sexual Offences

‘Sexual Offence’ refers to a wide range of offences including Sexual Assault, Aggravated Sexual Assault, Sexual Assault Causing Bodily Harm, or Sexual Assault Against a Minor.

Property Crimes

Property offences are extremely common and heavily prosecuted crimes, it includes crimes like theft over and under $5000, mischief, fraud and possession of stolen property.

Traffic Crimes

Traffic Offences and Traffic Violations are breaches of Provincial Legislation and do not result in a criminal record. However, certain traffic offences can result in very significant fines, lengthy driving suspensions, and, in some circumstances, jail.

Fraud

Fraud is a type of non-violent property offence that covers a broad range of acts, such as using another person’s credit card without their knowledge or consent, falsifying insurance or employment-related records, or engaging in complex schemes that result in a substantial financial loss to an individual or a corporation.

Her friendly professionalism helped ease my nerves and her confidence that she could help put this matter behind me was unshakeable.

Anny Wang was my defence attorney. I had never been in trouble with the law before but I found myself facing criminal charges. I had no idea what to do or what was going on. She took the time to explain everything to me and made time to answer my many questions. I took her advice at every turn and made me feel a lot better about going to trial. I felt prepared and knew what to expect. She got all the charges dropped just like she had predicted. She did an amazing job in court and out. I highly recommend Anny Wang to anyone facing criminal charges and needing legal counsel. Thanks again Anny Wang for everything you did!

Amazing service, professional and couldn’t ask for better results. Anny Wang was very clear about the process and thoroughly explained it. Was able to have my charges withdrawn, again amazing.
