Your Edmonton Criminal Defence Law Firm
When it comes to something as life-altering as personal injury or a criminal accusation, the right lawyer can help turn the tables in your direction. You need a criminal lawyer in your corner who will ensure that your best interests stay protected, and we have the resources to ensure it.
At Martin G. Schulz & Associates, we’ve been defending victims in the Edmonton, Alberta region since our founding in 1990. Since then, we’ve stood for three principles when it comes to our legal services: respect, representation, and results.
The Reassurance That Comes From Retaining Our Edmonton Criminal Lawyers
Your criminal offence is a lot bigger than you — if you’re the financial backbone of your family, you may find that obtaining a criminal record can lead to difficulties such as:
- Inability to qualify for certain jobs
- Inability to apply for scholarships or entrance into certain educational programs
- Mobility issues if your license has also been suspended or revoked
- Challenges moving across the Canada-US border
- Challenges applying for citizenship
- And so on
We’ve helped victims understand their criminal offence case and obtain fair outcomes that range from lighter sentences to dropped charges.

From Our Clients...
I heard about Martin but didn't know how good he was until I needed him. If you ever have to have a lawyer, you need Martin because he's always there to answer you and is confident in what he will say. You should definitely call Martin, he's really awesome and he will definitely make it worth your money!
Xavier, Edmonton
From Our Clients...
I would have missed out on my daughter going to her first day of kindergarten [...] I was told about Martin and called him and he told me not to worry about it and that he would set up my next court date and talk to legal aid himself. Martin was pretty sure he could get me no jail time from the start, he gave me quite a bit of confidence. I cried tears of joy that he was able to help me be with my children and still be able to work and provide for them. If I had to re-do it all, Martin would be my go-to person because he was there for me.
Vanessa, Edmonton
From Our Clients...
Because of Martin, I get to see my kids... I get to travel. I know, for sure, Martin is the best lawyer and he will do anything for you, so don't hesitate – call him and he will answer for you at any time. He's going to be there for you.
Amadu
From Our Clients...
I was really scared I was going to lose my business, and I didn't want to end up having to call my kids from jail. Now, I feel like I can go back to living my regular life again, and I can run my business again and take care of my family. That's all because of Martin.

Criminal Law Frequently Asked Questions
The first steps when issued court papers are to retain a calm mind and understand what they may entail. We understand that, especially for first-time offenders, being served court papers is a scary and, possibly, traumatizing experience. It is important to keep a level head when dealing with these documents. Generally, court papers will include a strict response deadline and time is not on your side.
We strongly encourage you to contact one of our criminal defence lawyers as soon as possible after you have been served with court papers so that we may begin building your defence. Book a consultation with us today at (780) 490-1100!
