CH Advocacy, a Calgary-based criminal defence law firm led by Chad Haggerty, is highlighting its broad range of criminal defence practice areas for individuals facing charges in Calgary and across Southern Alberta. The firm provides legal representation for clients dealing with serious allegations, urgent bail matters, police investigations, and complex criminal court proceedings.

Chad Haggerty brings a unique perspective to criminal defence advocacy. Before becoming a lawyer, he spent more than 17 years as an RCMP officer, gaining firsthand insight into police investigations, evidence collection, officer notes, witness interviews, arrest procedures, and how criminal files are prepared. Today, that experience helps him review cases from both an investigative and defence-focused perspective.

“At CH Advocacy, every client deserves to be treated with respect, fairness, and dignity,” said Chad Haggerty, criminal defence lawyer and founder of CH Advocacy. “A criminal charge can affect your freedom, your family, your employment, and your future. My role is to help clients understand the process, protect their rights, and prepare a clear defence strategy.”

CH Advocacy represents clients across several criminal defence practice areas, including bail hearings, assault charges, assault allegations, drug offences, murder charges, fraud, theft, and other criminal matters. The firm also provides pre-charge legal advice for individuals who have been contacted by police, are under investigation, or believe they may soon be charged.

One of the firm’s key practice areas is bail hearings. For individuals who have been arrested and held for court, bail can be one of the most urgent stages of the criminal process. CH Advocacy helps clients and their families understand the bail hearing process, prepare release plans, address Crown concerns, and present practical arguments for release. Early preparation can be important because bail conditions may affect a person’s home life, work, travel, and ability to assist in their own defence.

The firm also represents clients facing assault charges, including allegations involving domestic disputes, bar fights, workplace incidents, threats, or physical confrontations. Assault allegations can vary in seriousness, but even a first-time charge may lead to strict release conditions, employment consequences, family complications, and a possible criminal record. CH Advocacy reviews the facts carefully, including witness statements, police reports, injuries, surveillance footage, and possible self-defence issues.

For individuals facing assault allegations, CH Advocacy provides confidential and careful legal representation. These cases often involve sensitive facts, credibility issues, digital evidence, text messages, prior communications, and questions of consent. The firm works to protect the client’s rights while ensuring that the evidence is reviewed thoroughly and strategically.

CH Advocacy also assists clients charged with drug offences, including possession, trafficking, possession for the purpose of trafficking, and related charges. These cases may involve police surveillance, searches, vehicle stops, confidential informants, phone evidence, and Charter rights issues. With Chad Haggerty’s law enforcement background, the firm is well positioned to examine whether police acted lawfully and whether the evidence was obtained properly.

In more serious cases, including murder charges and other major criminal allegations, CH Advocacy provides focused defence representation built on detailed preparation. Serious charges require careful review of disclosure, forensic evidence, witness accounts, police conduct, and Crown theory. The firm’s goal is to help clients understand the case against them and respond with a structured defence strategy.

The firm also handles fraud, theft, and property-related offences. These matters may involve financial records, business documents, banking information, surveillance evidence, or allegations of dishonesty. CH Advocacy assists clients by reviewing the evidence, identifying gaps, and helping them understand their legal options.

In addition to courtroom advocacy, CH Advocacy emphasizes accessibility and support. The firm accepts Legal Aid referrals and offers flexible payment plans, helping clients access defence representation during difficult circumstances. The firm also provides a judgment-free environment where clients can speak openly about their concerns.
