Oykhman Criminal Defence in Saskatchewan focuses exclusively on criminal defense. Our criminal defense attorneys have spent their entire careers learning the law of crimes and are highly trained. In other words, we are not generalists. We are primarily focused on criminal law and continue to improve our understanding of this topic. We become better at spotting nuances as new laws are passed. This is because we offer solid legal advice that's supported by experience and expertise. Regina and Saskatoon are home to our dedicated criminal defense attorneys. Many of our lawyers have worked in Crown Prosecutor offices or at the Ministry of Justice. There are many violent offenses that can be considered assault. Common assault is the simplest of assault charges and comes with the smallest punishments. As the crime becomes more serious or has more severe consequences, the penalties are more severe.
