About These Criminal Law Tools

Being charged with a criminal offence is disorienting — court dates arrive fast, release conditions carry hidden traps, and the paperwork multiplies. These free wizards give you structure: each one asks about your specific situation and produces a personalized roadmap, preparation checklist, and questions for your defence lawyer.

Use the process wizards to understand what happens after a charge and what your specific charge means, the bail conditions wizard to avoid accidental breaches and explore variations, the court prep wizard before any appearance, and the case organizer to build a file your lawyer can actually work with. None of your answers leave your browser, and every wizard covers both Canadian and US procedure.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it safe to use these wizards if I've been charged?
Yes. Your answers are processed entirely in your browser and never transmitted or stored on a server. That said, these tools provide general information only — anything case-specific should go through your lawyer, where it's protected by privilege.
Do these wizards give legal advice?
No. They provide general legal information and organization tools. Criminal cases turn on specific facts and local law — always consult a criminal defence lawyer, and do so early.
What if I can't afford a lawyer?
The wizards flag when legal aid or duty counsel may be available. In both Canada and the US, people facing criminal charges have options for free or subsidized representation depending on income and the seriousness of the charge.
Which wizard should I use first?
If you were just charged, start with 'What Happens After I've Been Charged?' for the roadmap. If you're on release conditions, run the bail conditions review next — condition breaches are one of the most common ways cases get worse.
Do these work for both Canada and the US?
Yes — each wizard asks your jurisdiction first and adjusts terminology (Crown vs. prosecutor, Information vs. complaint) and guidance accordingly.

These tools provide general legal information only — not legal advice. They do not predict outcomes and do not replace consultation with a qualified lawyer. If you have an urgent legal matter, contact a lawyer immediately.
