Our successful case summaries

Our client was charged with second degree murder for the death of a neighbour. At the preliminary inquiry, Danielle Boisvert and Kent Haryett’s skilled cross-examination uncovered evidence of a serious breach of our client’s Charter rights by Edmonton Police Service investigators. Significant subsequent meetings between Danielle Boisvert and the Crown prosecutor resulted in a plea bargain to manslaughter and a joint submission for 10.5 years in jail. This case highlights the importance of preliminary inquiries as an important tool in resolving serious and complex cases, which in turn save the court system and most importantly the grieving families from enduring the stress of a long and contentious trial.

Our client was notified by her health insurer of an insurance fraud investigation regarding her past claims. Anny Wang reached out to the insurer and arranged for repayment of the alleged fraudulent claims without the client taking responsibility for fraud. The insurer agreed to a repayment plan and our client was not criminally charged for fraud.

Our client was accused of sexually assaulting his partner after he decided to end the relationship. Our client wisely preserved all text communications between them before, during, and after the break-up. Danielle Boisvert used that communication to demonstrate to the Crown prosecutor the inaccuracy of the complainant’s police narrative. The Crown prosecutor agreed to a peace bond and withdrew the charge.

Our client entered guilty pleas to several counts of failure to comply with conditions of undertaking. Anny Wang presented the sentencing judge with sympathetic personal circumstances and context surrounding the offences, supported by documentation. The Court, also taking into account the client’s lack of a criminal record and his early guilty plea, ordered the client be discharged absolutely.

Our client was charged with assault. He was initially denied for Alternative Measures Programming (AMP). Anny Wang compiled information supporting our client’s good character, mitigating factors, and context for the offence and provided that information to the Crown Prosecution Services, which reconsidered their initial position and accepted him into AMP. After completion of the conditions, the charge was withdrawn.
