Danusia Bourdon is one of the best criminal defence lawyers because she cares. Every case is a person’s life – a life with family, friends, and career – to defend. Danusia provides an individualized defence in all her cases because every case is unique. 

Each case, every person, has their own story and deserves the utmost respect, attention, and devotion to their case.  

Danusia began her career as a Crown Prosecutor, in Calgary, Alberta. It wasn’t long before Danusia knew that her dynamic courtroom skills and impassioned view of the law would best serve those charged with criminal offences – those facing the judicial system. As a prosecutor, Danusia saw firsthand the resources that the state has to prosecute offences, and often saw how the individual charged with the criminal offence was facing an uphill battle. Danusia became a criminal defence lawyer to help those charged with criminal offences so that they would not have to face the judicial system alone. 

Danusia understands that when you are charged with a criminal offence, it is just you and your lawyer against the State. The State is the police and crown prosecutors – it has infinite resources at its disposal to prosecute you. All you have is your lawyer. If you choose wisely, your lawyer is all you need.
