Pelissier Street
Pelissier Street- finally got the correct spelling on it- thanks, Brus, as far as driving slow, it is a one way street and you have to crank your neck back to get a good look because the Chinese Food place blocks the 4 MPs from view. Maybe the Redline Spa is easier to look into, but I have no reason to lie- I have not been enthralled by the ‘smokers’. I used to live on Elliott Street and I walk by the places often as I have business in the downtown area often.
As far as the law- I have not read the law, if it is a municipal bylaw it has to be on the city website, and I would have to read it before advising anybody to plead- although I am not a member of the LSUC, so I say this figuratively. It is in the legal drafting where criminal convictions really are won or loss. Example- in a City of Mississauga bylaw strippers had to do table dancing in ‘plain view’ of the main stage; well a famous club dearly departed used one-way glass in the VIP room; strippers and clients could see the stage from inside, but the VIP room was free from plain view. They could not get convicted unless the bylaw was rewritten more clearly.
I don’t think the client list you offered is very substantive for Mr. Ducharme, who is generally a multi-practice lawyer, if not primarily a civil litagator. The best criminal lawyers in my opinion are the names you never hear, especially in a smaller city like Windsor. The word of mouth referral is undoubtedly ten times superior than the loud mouth attorney who thinks he is on Law & Order or something. Pleading anything is a defeat- so many cases resolve before even a plea is reached. Many good criminal lawyers get all types of ‘off the record’ penalties like charitable donations to Alzheimer societies or something, and the charged are never left with any criminal mark to trace.
