From the owner: At Der Barristers, we have the unique experience of knowing criminal law from both sides - defence…read moreand prosecution. As former Crown prosecutors, our lawyers have years of experience in criminal defence, trials and appeals, at all levels of court, including the Supreme Court of Canada.
Senior lawyer Balfour Der, Q.C., alone, has represented over 4,000 clients and in his ten years as a prosecutor, handled hundreds of cases as a senior trial and appeals counsel. This extensive experience and proven track record equip us to fight any type of criminal charge, not only in Calgary, Alberta, but anywhere in Canada.
Before transitioning to defence attorneys, we spent years on the other side of the courtroom as Crown Prosecutors. Being able to look at a case from both sides gives our clients a distinct advantage.
Backed by this dual experience, we know how to face every type of criminal and regulatory offence. From the most minor to the most serious and high profile of charges, we have the experience to handle the case and provide the most effective defence possible.
Television networks, newspapers, online publications and media frequently seek our commentary about our own and other high-profile criminal cases. It's a showcase that underscores our depth and breadth of experience and insights into criminal law.
