Experienced Grande Prairie Trial Lawyer: Robert Lavalley

Robert LaValley began his career as an articling student at Liberty Law, only to rise to become a top Grande Prairie trial lawyer.

Robert LaValley graduated from the Faculty of Law at the University of Alberta in 2016 and joined Liberty Law that summer as an articling student. Robert was called to the Bar in 2017 and joined the firm as an associate thereafter. Robert practiced in Edmonton until Christopher Millsap was appointed as a King’s Bench Justice in 2023 and Robert relocated to Grande Prairie to continue the firm’s commitment to serving the Grande Prairie area. 

ROBERT IS A GRANDE PRAIRIE TRIAL LAWYER EXPERIENCED IN MANY TYPES OF SERIOUS MATTERS, WHICH IS WHAT MAKES HIM ONE OF THE BEST!

As a top Grande Prairie trial lawyer, Robert has defended individuals charged with murder, trafficking, sexual assaults, and many other offences. He has conducted trials in the Alberta Court of Justice and King’s Bench across the province. In 2022, Robert received the Bruce Gunn Junior Barrister Award (Top Gunn Award). This award is given out to a defence lawyer under five years of experience to recognize their outstanding work and commitment in defending individuals. 

In addition to defending individuals accused of criminal offences, Robert deals with immediate roadside sanctions and other regulatory offences. Robert understands that there are often collateral consequences, such as being found to have contributed to an accident, loss of driving privileges, and carrier profile implications that need to be understood, addressed, and fixed.

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I do if I've been arrested or charged with a criminal offence?

If you've been arrested or charged with a criminal offence, it's essential to remain calm and exercise your right to remain silent. Avoid making any statements to law enforcement until you've consulted with a criminal defence lawyer. Contact an Edmonton criminal lawyer as soon as possible to discuss your case and understand your rights and legal options.

What are my rights if I've been arrested by the police?

If you've been arrested by the police, you have certain rights guaranteed by the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. These rights include the right to remain silent, the right to legal counsel, and the right to be informed of the reasons for your arrest. It's important to assert your rights and seek legal assistance promptly.

What should I do if I'm being questioned by the police?

If you're being questioned by the police, it's crucial to exercise your right to remain silent and refrain from making any statements that could incriminate you. Politely assert your right to speak with a lawyer before answering any questions. Avoid consenting to any searches without consulting with a lawyer first.

What are the potential consequences of a criminal conviction?

The potential consequences of a criminal conviction vary depending on the nature and severity of the offence. They may include imprisonment, fines, probation, community service, and mandatory participation in rehabilitation programs. A criminal conviction can also have long-term consequences, such as difficulty finding employment, obtaining housing, or traveling internationally.

Will my case go to trial, or is there a possibility of a plea bargain?

Whether your case goes to trial or results in a plea bargain depends on various factors, including the strength of the evidence against you, the seriousness of the charges, and your individual circumstances. Your criminal defence lawyer will assess your case and discuss the available options with you, including the possibility of negotiating a plea bargain with the prosecution.
