A criminal lawyer who has never done anything else

Julian Van Der Walle is a Penticton criminal defence lawyer who was called to the bar in Kamloops in May 2010, a year after finishing his law degree at the University of Manitoba. He has practised criminal defence ever since and nothing else. Before going out on his own he articled with senior defence counsel Peter Jensen in Kamloops, which is where he learned to prepare a trial from the ground up.

Over his career he has run more than one hundred trials in both levels of trial court in BC and in Alberta. He has argued summary conviction appeals, appeals at the BC Court of Appeal and an appeal at the Supreme Court of Canada. Clients in Penticton get that same experience on files that are often decided in a single morning at the Penticton Law Courts.

Keeping up with the law

Julian is active in the criminal defence section of the Trial Lawyers Association of BC. He has lectured at its conferences on criminal law, search and seizure in particular, and writes a monthly case law review for its criminal defence members. That work keeps him current on new rulings, which matters when your case turns on a Charter argument.

How he works with Penticton clients

You deal with Julian directly, not a junior. Consultations are free and can happen by phone or video, so you don’t have to take a day off to drive in. He charges flat fees instead of billing by the hour, and he’ll give you an honest view of your chances before you decide anything. Call 1-866-706-8857, or see his past wins.
