D. Gosal & Associates Firm Philosophy

 

To be Your Advocate

We will work hard and advocate zealously for you in order to protect your rights.  That dedication is consistent whether it be a speeding ticket or a homicide, a fender-bender or a brain-damage case, a small claims matter or high-stakes complex litigation.  As lawyers, we are often the voice for the accused, the silenced and the injured.  From this, we understand the awesome position that we are in; the position you are in; and from this develops our unfailing conviction and resolve to work with you during these times of strain. We keep you apprised of developments in your case and ensure you understand the process.  Based in Surrey, BC as a Criminal Defense Lawyer, we practice and represent clients across Delta, Surrey, and Greater Vancouver, British Columbia.

 

No Bait and Switch

I am the lawyer you will meet and I am the lawyer who will defend your case.  You are hiring my education, training, experience and trial expertise. It’s not a case of shaking hands with me, merely to have your case turned over to a junior lawyer or an articled student.

To Keep Learning

Law is always changing, and one way we strive for professional betterment is by regularly attending legal seminars and conferences in order to keep apprised of developments in the law.  We also have access to online legal publishers, including WestLaw®, QuickLaw® and Lexis-Nexis®, which provide the latest in case and statutory law, law review articles and practice developments notes.

Our professional memberships also assist us in our ability to represent clients and contact resources, including experts in their respective fields such as toxicologists, pathologists, psychiatrists and forensic reconstructionists.
