Client was arrested as he drove into Calgary. Police discovered a substantial amount of marihuana in the trunk. Client was a well respected businessman and could not afford to be convicted for possession for the purposes of trafficking. So he hired Mr. Jensen and Mr. van der Walle. After a grueling 5 day trial in front of one of the most Crown oriented judges in Calgary, the Crown folded right before the end of the trial and accepted a plea to simple possession. Client was discharged and put on probation for a mere 4 months with the only condition that he report as directed to a probation officer. In the end, client faced serious jail time but because of the effort of Mr. Van der Walle and Mr. Jensen he will not have a criminal conviction on his record and he did not do a day in jail.
