Strategic Criminal Defence Advice From Our Calgary Criminal Lawyers
No matter the circumstances behind your criminal charge, you have the right to a fair and just court proceeding.

When you choose to retain one of our Calgary criminal lawyers, you do more than just protect yourself in the criminal justice process. You also help regain peace of mind for you, your family members, and your loved ones. Our team is committed to providing you with an excellent criminal lawyer in Calgary, ensuring your rights are upheld at every stage of the proceedings. We understand the stress and anxiety that any criminal charges and offences can bring. By entrusting your case to our skilled criminal lawyers, you can regain peace of mind, knowing that your defence is in capable hands.
Accepting Your Criminal Charge Isn’t Always The Answer
Unfortunately when individuals are first issued a criminal charge for a minor criminal offence, they often accept the punishment they have been sentenced to with nothing but a downturned head. It is important to note, that no matter the nature of your offence, it is always possible to challenge your charge.
At Martin G. Schulz & Associates, we’ve helped thousands of victims fight their cases with the Crown for a lighter or reduced sentence, an appeal, or to even have the charge dropped. We want you to understand that even if it feels like the walls are closing in on you, there is always an option available to move forward.
In addition, once you plead guilty to a criminal offence — there is no going back. Even if this was your first offence, having a criminal record can severely impact your life for the worse. Depending on the circumstances and nature of the crime, your offence may stay on your record for a lifetime.
Don’t let one mistake ruin your future! Get in touch with one of our lawyers today at (403) 245-9000.

From Our Clients...
I heard about Martin but didn't know how good he was until I needed him. If you ever have to have a lawyer, you need Martin because he's always there to answer you and is confident in what he will say. You should definitely call Martin, he's really awesome and he will definitely make it worth your money!
Xavier, Edmonton
From Our Clients...
I would have missed out on my daughter going to her first day of kindergarten [...] I was told about Martin and called him and he told me not to worry about it and that he would set up my next court date and talk to legal aid himself. Martin was pretty sure he could get me no jail time from the start, he gave me quite a bit of confidence. I cried tears of joy that he was able to help me be with my children and still be able to work and provide for them. If I had to re-do it all, Martin would be my go-to person because he was there for me.
Vanessa, Edmonton
From Our Clients...
Because of Martin, I get to see my kids... I get to travel. I know, for sure, Martin is the best lawyer and he will do anything for you, so don't hesitate – call him and he will answer for you at any time. He's going to be there for you.
Amadu
From Our Clients...
I was really scared I was going to lose my business, and I didn't want to end up having to call my kids from jail. Now, I feel like I can go back to living my regular life again, and I can run my business again and take care of my family. That's all because of Martin.
