Case Settlement - First degree murder for manslaughter

The police had obtained a search warrant to search our client's home, where various narcotics had been seized. During the trial, we asked the judge to quash the search warrant and exclude all of the evidence gathered since it had been obtained in violation of our client's constitutional rights. The judge agreed with us, and our client was acquitted of all the charges against him. Me maxime raymond ensured the principal representation of the client before the court of quebec.

While represented by another law firm, our client was charged and found guilty by default for possession of unstamped tobacco, resulting in fines of over $200,000. She had also tried to submit a request for revocation of judgment to overturn this decision, without success.Our firm was mandated when our client wanted to appeal the decision refusing her the revocation of the default judgment rendered against her. The appeal of the revocation of judgment, before the Superior Court, was granted and the case was returned to the Court of Quebec, so that the client could stand trial there. However, following negotiations, the prosecutors of Revenu Québec, which acted as prosecutor in the file, withdrew the charges against our client, resulting in her acquittal.Me Anne-Marie Campeau ensured the principal representation of the client before the Superior Court and before the Court of Quebec.

In 2016, our client was found guilty of first degree murder in a case dating back to the late 1980s. At the appeal stage, our client retained our firm, which was successful in obtaining an order for retrial at the Quebec Court of Appeal. Me maxime raymond ensured the principal representation of the client before the court of appeal of quebec.

Me Maxime Raymond represented the interests of the Quebec Association of Lawyers and Defense Lawyers (Aqaad) before the Supreme Court of Canada in the Sharma case. This case dealt with the availability of conditional sentencing (house imprisonment) for certain criminal offenses and the constitutionality of certain provisions of the criminal code. Mr. Raymond's representations on behalf of the aqaad were aimed at increasing the number of offenses where a conditional sentence is an available sentence.
