Drug Offences

Our Approach to Drug Offences

At Gunn Law Group, we know that being charged with a drug offence can feel overwhelming. Whether the charge involves simple possession, or trafficking, the stakes are high. A conviction can carry not only serious criminal penalties, but also have long-lasting impacts on employment, travel, family life, and reputation.

Our approach is built on thorough preparation, strategic defence, and compassionate advocacy. Every drug case turns on the details. We examine police conduct closely — from the initial stop, to the search, to the handling of the evidence. In Canada, and particularly in Alberta, drug prosecutions often raise constitutional questions about unreasonable search and seizure (Charter s. 8) or detention without proper grounds (Charter s. 9). If your rights were violated, we fight to have unlawfully obtained evidence excluded.

No two cases are the same. Our lawyers assess the strength of the Crown’s case and build a defence strategy that reflects your circumstances, goals, and risks. Sometimes the best path forward is a full trial where we challenge the Crown’s evidence. In other cases, early resolution through negotiations, diversion programs, or treatment-focused outcomes may best protect your future. We understand that drug charges often come with personal struggles — whether that’s addiction, financial pressures, or difficult life circumstances. We approach every case with respect and without judgment.

Our team has experience defending clients against a wide range of drug charges. We know the law, we know the courts, and we know how to protect your rights at every stage of the process.
