Surrey Criminal Defense Lawyer :
Paul E. Briggs
Paul E. Briggs is a criminal defence lawyer with more than 25 years of experience representing individuals facing serious criminal charges throughout British Columbia. Based in Surrey, he focuses on defending allegations of sexual assault and other sexual offences, assault and other serious violent offences, criminal appeals, and post-conviction proceedings. He has appeared before all levels of court in British Columbia, including the British Columbia Court of Appeal and in matters before the Supreme Court of Canada.
Criminal charges and convictions can have significant consequences beyond the courtroom, particularly for individuals whose immigration status may be affected. Paul represents clients in matters involving criminal inadmissibility, deportation proceedings, permanent resident status, post-conviction remedies, record suspension applications, and the immigration consequences of criminal convictions. In one notable case, he successfully represented a client whose sexual assault conviction was overturned on appeal after the court concluded that a miscarriage of justice had occurred, and subsequently assisted the client with the related immigration process that enabled the client's return to Canada.
Recognizing that every criminal case is unique, Paul provides practical legal advice, meticulous preparation, and strategic advocacy tailored to the facts, evidence, and legal issues involved. He works closely with each client to develop an effective defence strategy and protect their rights at every stage of the criminal justice process.
Beyond his courtroom advocacy, Paul is committed to legal education and community engagement, participating in initiatives like Dial A Law of People's Law School, a non-profit society based in British Columbia, Canada.
