Steve Smith Law – Edmonton, AB

Exclusive Criminal Defence Representation

Steve Smith Law is a specialized boutique law firm located in downtown Edmonton, Alberta, dedicated solely to the practice of criminal defence. Founded by experienced trial lawyer Steve Smith, the firm operates on the principle that focused expertise leads to better results. Unlike general practice firms, Steve Smith Law does not dabble in other areas; they strictly defend individuals charged with offences under the Criminal Code and other regulatory statutes. This singular focus allows them to stay at the cutting edge of criminal law precedents and defence strategies.

Aggressive Advocacy and Charter Rights

Steve Smith is known for his technical legal acumen and aggressive defence of his clients’ constitutional rights. The firm has a strong track record of successfully challenging police investigations, often leading to the exclusion of evidence due to Charter of Rights and Freedoms violations. They handle a wide range of charges, including:

• Drug Offences: defending against possession, trafficking, and production charges.
• Violent Crimes: representation for assault, domestic violence, and homicide cases.
• DUI and Impaired Driving: challenging breathalyzer results and police procedures to protect driving privileges.
• Appeals: providing skilled advocacy in the Court of Appeal for wrongful convictions or harsh sentences.

The firm understands that high-quality legal defence can be a financial burden, which is why they offer a flexible fee structure. Instead of hourly billing, they provide clear, flat-fee estimates so clients know the total cost upfront, and they are willing to work out payment plans. Located in the Connect Tower (formerly Phipps-McKinnon Building), Steve Smith Law is a staunch defender of the accused in Edmonton.
