The Basiga Law Firm, PC (BLF) is a US – Canada cross-border law firm with offices in London, Ontario and Okemos, Michigan, U.S.A. Our focus is on cross-border issues, specifically criminal convictions with immigration consequences.
Far too often, clients come to us in dire straights, believing that they are out of options. However, as an international law firm, we are often able to explore additional avenues that may evade even the most experienced local counsel.
Whether that is by applying for a “waiver” from the foreign government, properly advising our clients of the cross-border consequences of a plea offer, or re-negotiating a resolution so as to avoid any immigration consequences, BLF’s primary focus is on international criminal defense and immigration.

Unlike the U.S. system where each state has its own criminal laws, the Canadian Criminal Justice System is governed by a federal code known as the Criminal Code of Canada (the CCC). The CCC defines the various criminal charges throughout all of Canada, where there are, strictly speaking, two categories of crimes: Summary Conviction Offences and Indictable Offences.
There is also a “third” category known as a “Hybrid Offence” where the Crown Prosecutor has the discretion to decide to charge someone with a Summary Conviction or an Indictable Offence.
If you’ve been charged with a Crime in Canada contact BLF immediately to find out what options you have available.
