It is important that if you are subject to an investigation that you speak
to a lawyer who is experienced in the area of dealing with the unintended
or unexpected consequences.
The mere fact of an investigation can have an adverse effect. There can
be unintended adverse consequences from not only a conviction, but from
even an investigation or a charge. These consequences may surface years
later and involve such agencies or organizations such as the Ministry of
Children and Families, professional organizations like the Law Society,
medical associations, engineering society, accounting society, security
and financial trading, border crossing, international travel or any position
requiring a criminal records check.
