The Lespérance Avocats team — criminal defence lawyers

A criminal defence lawyer in the Vallée-de-la-Gatineau

In the Vallée-de-la-Gatineau, finding a defence lawyer too often means hours on the road to Gatineau or Ottawa. Our office at 171 Notre-Dame Street in Maniwaki changes that: you meet your lawyer close to home, and your case is handled by a firm that practises criminal law every day — in Maniwaki, Gatineau and Montreal.

We defend residents of Maniwaki and the surrounding municipalities against any criminal or penal charge: impaired driving, assault, threats, theft, mischief, weapons or drug offences, and more.

At the Maniwaki courthouse

The Maniwaki courthouse (266 Notre-Dame Street) is steps from our office. We represent clients there for appearances, bail hearings, case management and trials. Being on the ground means a defence that moves at the court’s real pace — not a visiting lawyer’s.
