A criminal charge changes things fast. Bail conditions, a record that follows you into every job application, the phone call home you dread making. Sangster Law handles Criminal Code matters, Highway Traffic Act offences, bail hearings and Youth Criminal Justice Act files. Clients searching for criminal lawyers in North Bay usually come in frightened and short on answers, and the firm treats that as the starting point rather than an inconvenience. Family law, child protection, wills and estates, corporate work, and small claims and landlord-tenant disputes round out the practice.

A spokesperson for the firm said, "People wait too long. They think if they stay quiet the charge will sort itself out, or the closing will happen on its own. It rarely does. We would rather someone call us on a Tuesday afternoon with a small question than three weeks later with a real problem. Multiple staff members touch a file at once here, so calls get returned, and deadlines do not slip past anyone."

The firm keeps several people working on each matter, which shortens response times and reduces the odds of a missed court date or a late document. Fee structures are set out before work starts. Real estate transactions receive free quotes. Decisions reported by the firm are published on CanLII, including matters before the Ontario Superior Court of Justice and the Ontario Court of Justice.

Nearly five decades in one town means the lawyers know the local courthouse, the local registry, and the people on the other side of most files.
