The latest move responds to the persistently high levels of violent crime committed by 12 to 17-year-olds in the Greater Toronto region. Mr. Jaksa and his team adopt a compassionate approach to youths who find themselves facing jail terms for violent offences allied with a firm belief in every individual’s right to a fair trial. The firm’s deep knowledge of the Canadian Criminal Code ensures that mitigating factors in a case will be brought to light and factored into the severity of sentencing.
According to data from Toronto Public Health, the rate of firearm-related violent crime among the youth population of the city more than doubled between 2013 and 2017. Assault-related mortality was the second-leading cause of death among 15 to 24-year-olds from 2011 to 2015, demonstrating the extent of the problems in the region.
Mr. Jaksa has represented hundreds of young clients and offers intimate knowledge of the Youth Criminal Justice Act. This legislation accounts for a young person’s lack of life experience and decision-making abilities with a focus on correcting criminal behaviour through rehabilitation before adulthood.
The firm offers specialism in the assembly of evidence and preparing witnesses. Mr. Jaksa has a track record of getting sentences reduced from first-degree murder to second-degree or manslaughter, establishing the circumstantial factors at play and proving a lack of intent on the defendant’s part.
