Criminal Defence in Delta
Criminal Defence Lawyers in Delta
A charge is not a conviction. If you have been arrested in Delta, handed a roadside prohibition on Highway 17 or River Road, or asked to come in for questioning, the most important thing to understand is that the Crown has to prove its case against you. You do not have to prove your innocence. You have the right to stay silent and the right to speak to a lawyer before you answer anything, and using those rights early often shapes how the whole case unfolds.
Delta covers a lot of ground, from Ladner and Tsawwassen to North Delta near the Surrey line, and charges here range from impaired driving and roadside suspensions to assault, theft, and other Criminal Code matters. Many start with a traffic stop or a single bad night. Whatever brought you here, the first hours and days matter. What you say to police, whether you take an approved screening test, and how quickly you get advice can all affect your options later.
At Ng Sidhu Law we defend people across Delta and the surrounding area who are facing criminal and driving charges. We will explain the process in plain language, get the disclosure the Crown is relying on, look hard for gaps and Charter problems, and lay out your realistic choices. Your first case evaluation is free and confidential, so you can find out where you actually stand before you make any decisions.
How we help in Delta
Impaired and driving offences
We act on impaired driving, refusal, and over 80 charges, plus Immediate Roadside Prohibitions and other Motor Vehicle Act matters that can cost you your licence fast.
Roadside prohibition review
An IRP carries tight deadlines to dispute it. We move quickly to review how the roadside test was done and whether the prohibition holds up.
Bail and release
If you or a family member is being held, we work to get you released on reasonable conditions and explain exactly what those conditions mean day to day.
Disclosure and case review
We obtain the Crown's disclosure and go through it carefully, looking for weak evidence, procedural errors, and breaches of your Charter rights.
Protecting your rights from the first appearance
You do not enter a plea at your first court date. We use that time to review everything and make sure nothing is done that quietly hurts your position.
Resolution or trial
Where it serves you we negotiate with the Crown, and where the case calls for it we are prepared to test their evidence at trial.
Common questions
I got a roadside prohibition driving in Delta. What can I do?
An Immediate Roadside Prohibition is an administrative penalty, separate from a criminal charge, and it comes with a short window to ask for a review. Because that deadline is tight, it helps to get advice right away. We can look at how the roadside screening was carried out and whether there are grounds to challenge the prohibition.
Should I answer police questions before I talk to a lawyer?
You have the right to speak to a lawyer before answering questions, and in most cases it is wise to use it. You can be polite and give your basic identifying information while still declining to discuss what happened until you have had legal advice. A short call early on can keep you from saying something that hurts your case later.
Where would my case actually be heard?
Criminal charges from Delta are generally dealt with in Provincial Court in the region, and which courthouse depends on the charge and how the file is processed. We will confirm where your matter is being handled and make sure you know each date and what to expect when you get there.
