Judges, crown attorneys, and criminal defence lawyers across the province fully understand that the skill and experience of the lawyer you hire will make all the difference in whether you win your case or receive a lighter sentence. Our lawyers focus on defending all types of criminal cases including assault, sexual assault, sexual-related crimes, crimes of violence, property crimes, theft, fraud, impaired driving, drug charges, and murder charges. We bring many decades of winning in criminal courtrooms to the table. We are recognized as one of the leading criminal law firms in Ontario by judges, crown attorneys and the public. Criminal defence is all we do 24/7. When we show up in a courtroom to defend a client at his or her criminal trial, the judges and crown attorneys know we mean business and are there to win.

In the Oshawa area, we offer:

  • Success. Michael Kruse and his team of lawyers have an excellent rate of winning criminal cases over the last 25 years. If there is a way to win, Kruse Law Firm will find it.
  • Three former crown prosecutors. Our firm has three former crown prosecutors, including our founding lawyer, Michael Kruse. Mr. Kruse personally prosecuted hundreds of criminal charges from 1989 to 1993 as an assistant crown attorney before becoming a criminal defence lawyer in 1993. Our lawyers know the judges, the crown attorneys, the criminal law system and the “tricks of the trade” from both the defence side and the prosecution side. This give us a distinct advantage both in and out of court as we understand the mindset and strategies of the crown attorneys.
  • Teamwork. Our firm prides ourselves on the fact that “Two minds are better than one.” Michael Kruse will personally review your case along with one of the other Kruse Law Firm lawyers. This allows you to have the advantage of receiving the combined experience, expertise, skill and knowledge of two well-regarded Kruse Law Firm criminal lawyers for the price of one.
  • Value. There is a difference between the cost of a service and the value of the service. You will receive our guarantee of receiving very high value for the cost incurred. Our legal fees are fair and competitive with other criminal law firms. We can also offer you differential rates and lower fees to meet your budget depending on the seniority of the lawyer you select from Kruse Law Firm. You can choose either to have Michael Kruse personally handle your case or, alternatively, have Mr. Kruse provide his expertise, insight and a second opinion to the Kruse Law Firm lawyer who is assigned to your case.
  • Communication, access, and availability. Good communication and listening skills are crucial to a great defence and an informed and satisfied client. Kruse Law Firm provides 24/7 service. We continuously update our clients with the progress of their case both verbally and through correspondence. We also have multiple local offices and criminal defence lawyers throughout Ontario.
