Young Offenders

Dealing with youth caught up in the criminal justice system requires extra patience and a unique collaborative approach. The lawyers at Bytensky Shikhman don’t just understand the Youth Criminal Justice Act – they will take the time to understand your child.

At BSB Criminal Law Firm we spend a considerable amount of our practice assisting young persons charged with criminal offences. Children under the age of 18 are treated very differently by the law. Our lawyers are intimately familiar with the complexities of the Youth Criminal Justice Act including its application to bail proceedings for young persons.

You can trust our calm manner and reasoned approach to help guide your young person through a very frightening and defining time in their lives. We also have access to a broad array of educational, medical and social service agencies that can help your young person onto a rehabilitative path.

BPS’ lawyers for youth and minors will make every effort to answer your questions promptly and personally – you will not be shuffled around through layers of staff. When our lawyers are in court, our office staff will respond to your concerns immediately and professionally. Bytensky Shikhman welcomes the opportunity to be your Toronto Young Offender Lawyer. Don’t waste time, call now to consult with us.

Don’t delay – contact an experienced criminal defence lawyer with decades of experience to have the best chance of winning your case.

Dod Ndreu

Edward is an excellent lawyer. He is very professional and hard working criminal lawyer. I hired him for my sons criminal matter as he was looking at numerous charges and some serious jail time. He worked very hard on my sons case and dropped all charges. My son was able to get away with no jail time, thanks to Edwards hard work.. Edward was a godsend to me and my family in the hardest time of my life, and I will never forget. Every thing he told me during the court sessions happened exactly as he had planned them. I would very highly recommend Edward, his work speaks for itself. If you want positive results this is the guy to hire. Thank you Edward for what you have done for me and my family. All the best, Dod

Sonya is very professional, knowledgable and pleasant lawyer. She was always there when we needed her. She was patient, explained every step of the very unpleasant process and prepared us for every day of the trial. I have been recommending Sonya and her law firm ever since. Thank you, Sonya!
