I have practised criminal defence in Halifax for seventeen years, most of it in the provincial court on Spring Garden Road, where the coffee is bad and the stakes are not. The same questions come to me every week, usually at two in the morning, usually from someone standing in a hallway with a police officer at the door. So I started writing the answers down in words a tired person can follow. Nothing I write is legal advice for your situation. It is a map, so you know which questions to ask. I live in the North End with my partner, two teenagers and a rowing machine I use as a coat rack.
