Calgary Criminal Defence Lawyers.

Mike C. Gilchrist understands that your reputation, family, employment, travel, and above all your freedom are on the line when you are accused. Being charged does not mean you will be found guilty, and Mike makes sure every fact and every context is examined before the Crown gets its turn.

Called to the bar in Alberta in 2010, Mike has practiced with a large Calgary firm, a large international firm, and as senior legal counsel with a major international company. He thrives on challenging, complex, and novel issues, and puts client interests first from the first phone call to the final verdict.

Sadaf Raja received her Juris Doctor from the University of Ottawa in 2014 and, after working at two prominent Calgary firms, opened her private practice in 2019.

Ms. Raja assists clients across the spectrum of criminal charges and, uniquely on our team, is able to handle the collateral family-law issues that so often surface alongside a criminal matter, protection orders, custody impacts, and parenting arrangements.
