Facing criminal charges can be overwhelming. At Kasokeo Law, we provide strategic, culturally informed, and rights-based defence from the earliest stages of a criminal matter through trial, resolution, and sentencing.

We represent clients at all stages, including bail, disclosure review, pre-trial motions, trials, and appeals. Our advocacy is focused on protecting Charter rights, ensuring procedural fairness, and pursuing just outcomes.

Gladue Advocacy

Deanne Kasokeo provides concise, well-researched Gladue submissions and advocacy for Indigenous clients from the very beginning of a criminal case and throughout sentencing proceedings.

This includes:

• Early identification of Gladue factors;

• Integration of cultural, family, and community context;

• Collaboration with support networks, Elders, and service providers where appropriate;

• Strategic use of Gladue principles in bail, resolution discussions, and sentencing;

• Preparation of focused written and oral submissions that assist the Court in understanding systemic and personal circumstances.

Our approach ensures that Gladue principles are not treated as an afterthought, but as a foundational component of effective defence and meaningful rehabilitation.

 Kasokeo Law is committed to advancing restorative, proportionate, and culturally responsive justice for Indigenous clients.
