Privacy pressure should not rush the response
A quick apology, payment offer, or private conversation may create contact or evidence issues if release terms are in place.

Common Questions
Mischief charge questions Shelburne clients often ask.
Can a smaller repair still lead to a mischief charge?
Yes. The size of the repair may affect strategy, but the Crown still has to prove the offence.
Can I speak privately with the complainant?
Do not do that without legal advice. Conditions may prohibit contact, and statements can affect the case.
What if the damage was already there?
Prior condition can be important and should be compared with photos, repair records, and witness accounts.
