Alexander Koustov, Calgary Criminal Defence Lawyer
Alexander Koustov, also known as Alex Koustov, was called to the bar in 2009 and has appeared at all levels of court in Alberta. His work is focused on drug charges, sexual assault, and impaired driving, and he has extensive bail hearing experience.
Alex is deeply versed in the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Through careful research and written advocacy he aims, wherever possible, to have charges dropped by the Crown before trial, and when a trial is unavoidable, he is a vigorous, prepared litigator across a wide spectrum of cases.
