About John Buchanan

John Buchanan is an experienced criminal defence lawyer who has been practicing exclusively in the area of criminal law for over 25 years. 

I am based in Vancouver, BC and I represent individuals charged with all criminal offences including:

- Impaired driving, dangerous driving, 90-day (Administrative Driving Prohibitions), driving while prohibited.
- Assault (all assault charges including domestic and spousal assault);
- Production of Marijuana and all drug charges;
- Fraud, theft, all shoplifting charges;
- Communicating (for the purpose of prostitution); and
- 'Waiving' in criminal charges from other jurisdictions in British Columbia and the other provinces in Canada.

Remember

A criminal record of any kind can remove or restrict your right to travel outside Canada (particularly to the United States) and it can effect your ability to secure future employment opportunities and may even jeopardize your current employment. Even if you wish to plead guilty, it is possible to avoid a criminal record.
