Client was charged as part of a project with conspiracy to traffic cocaine and possession of cocaine for the purpose of trafficking. As a result, there were some minimum mandatory sentences that he was facing. I discussed the matter at length with the Prosecutor. There was also an issue because the client was a permanent resident. Any jail sentence of more than six months would automatically cause immigration issues for him. I was able to convince the Crown to withdraw the majority of the charges. It ended up leading to one charge and receiving a sentence of only four months in custody, thereby allowing him to remain in Canada to continue his employment and support his family.
