“I highly recommend Sankoff Law’s jury charge review service. As trial lawyers know, the jury charge is the last, and often the most important, message the jury hears before rendering a verdict. It is critical that your client’s theory of the defence is properly communicated, that the summation of the evidence is fair, and that the instructions on the relevant offences are dealt with appropriately. 

Peter has his fingers on the pulse of the most recent case law on issues of evidence and substantive criminal law, and can hone and refine your jury charge to give your client the best possible chance of success. Even if you’re a lawyer who keeps up to speed on the law, you can’t beat the knowledge base that Peter  possesses. Having had Peter consult me on two jury charges already, I can tell you that his insights and recommendations are well worth it.”

“I recently had the opportunity to use Peter’s services for a jury trial for sexual offences and other less serious charges. After I provided the draft jury instructions to him, Peter provided detailed commentary. It was helpful to have a second perspective from another defence lawyer, and I was able to include many of his suggested changes verbatim in my response to the Justice. The Justice agreed to most of these proposed changes.

I found Peter to be very responsive time-wise, and he consulted with me by phone and Zoom outside of normal office hours. His rates were very reasonable. My client was ultimately acquitted of the sexual offences.”
