Fishery Matters

Are you being investigated for a regulatory violation, such as overfishing or hunting without a permit? Do you need a lawyer to defend you against wildlife, gaming, or fisheries (DFO) charges?

Violating a regulatory offence may not always result in criminal charges, but it can still cost you your licence, and your reputation, and up to hundreds of thousands of dollars in fines. If you’ve been charged with a regulatory violation, you should consult with an attorney to determine your best course of action.

Understand your legal rights… I have extensive knowledge of provincial and statutory regulations to assist you in sorting through the evidence and determining whether your case would be better decided in court. I’ll give you straight-forward advice and use my decades of experience to vigorously defend your legal rights.

Every case is unique… There are no two regulatory offences alike, and your personal circumstances will influence the outcome of your case. I will negotiate with investigators and government agencies on your behalf and, if necessary, advise and represent you in dealing with search and seizure issues. I’ll always fight for the best possible outcome on your behalf.

Representing yourself is a terrible idea… Representing yourself in a regulatory offence trial is a bad idea unless you are an experienced trial lawyer with specific knowledge of BC laws and regulations.

Everything depends on timing… When it comes to regulatory offences, acting quickly is critical and can have a direct impact on the outcome of your case. Don’t let the legal system’s fear or uncertainty overwhelm you. Contact Sohi Law trial lawyers today to get the assistance you require. I’m here to defend you.
