Charged with a Drug Offence in Ontario?
Defending Your Freedom
Whether it's simple possession or a complex trafficking allegation, the penalties can be life-altering—and the right defence strategy is essential. At Wilson Defence, we understand that being charged with a drug offence does not make you a criminal. People from all walks of life can find themselves in difficult situations—and we are here to help you navigate them with knowledge, compassion, and strategic defence.
A drug conviction can have long-lasting effects on your future, including a criminal record, jail time, loss of employment, travel restrictions and immigration consequences. That’s why it’s essential to speak with a criminal defence lawyer who knows how to fight drug charges effectively and who will ensure that your rights are fully protected throughout the process.
Early Legal Advice Matters
We carefully examine every element of the police investigation, including how the drugs were discovered or seized, whether there were violations of your Charter rights, and whether the Crown can prove possession, knowledge, or intent beyond a reasonable doubt. If there are legal grounds to challenge the search, the detention, or the arrest, we will pursue them.

We Defend All Types of Drug Charges, Including:
Simple possession of a controlled substance

Penalties for Drug Offences Can Be Severe
The consequences of a drug conviction in Ontario vary depending on the substance involved, the amount, the specific charge, and whether you have any prior criminal history. Even simple possession of a controlled substance can lead to a criminal record, fines, or probation—impacting your ability to work, travel, or immigrate. More serious charges like drug trafficking or possession for the purpose of trafficking often carry lengthy jail sentences, even for first-time offenders. Importing or producing drugs such as fentanyl, methamphetamine, or large quantities of cannabis are typically prosecuted as indictable offences and may come with mandatory minimum prison sentences under the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act (CDSA) or the Cannabis Act. Given the high stakes, having experienced legal representation is essential.
