PERSONAL LETTER FROM TOM DOUST
TOM DOUST
My name is Tom Doust, I am a trial lawyer in downtown Vancouver. I love my job. I was born and raised in Vancouver and I grew up in a family of lawyers, both my father and brother also practice law. Being in this environment has provided me with endless years of mentorship and resources which have shaped me as a lawyer and assisted my clients immeasurably.
For most people hiring a lawyer is an unfamiliar and daunting process. It often represents a very critical time in a person’s life. You will need to hire someone who you trust and can rely upon. I have over 20 years of trial experience and have accumulated a very successful track record, earning an admirable reputation in the profession.
I have never once had a client complain about the job I did for them. I doubt many practicing trial lawyers can say the same and I am most proud of this. I have helped hundreds of clients out of the most unimaginable circumstances. I have been able to get each of them the best results possible.
Doing a great job consistently is my mission, I have had criminal clients come back 2 or 3 times and serial traffic offenders come back 5 or 6 times. Give me a call, my personal cell number is available and I do treat every client’s file with the same degree of importance. Phone me and give me a chance to earn your trust.

CASE STUDIES
VANCOUVER CRIMINAL DEFENCE LAWYER
Canada Border Services Agency Matters
*R. v. A.F. (Vancouver)
Client has been represented on 3 separate occasions. On two occasions he was charged with indictable drug offences. Following trials on both he was found not guilty.
*R. v. A. F. (Vancouver )
All charges dropped against client and co-accused including aggravated assault, assault with a weapon and assault causing bodily harm. Crown counsel may have eventually decided their case was not likely to succeed at trial and so before we started 5 weeks of trial they stayed all charges against both accused
*R. v. C.F (Surrey )
Client charged with fraud over $5,000. After several months of hard work the 3rd crown counsel on the file agreed the likelihood of a conviction was not sufficiently high to warrant continuing the prosecution
*R. v. A.K. (Surrey )
Charge of violent spousal assault stayed by Crown on trial date. The complainant did not attend for the trial and was not under a subpoena compelling her attendance so the crown counsel really had no choice but to end the prosecution of the accused.
*R. v. B.N. (New Westminster Supreme Court)
Client charged criminally with “leaving the scene of an accident to avoid civil or criminal consequences” with a mandatory jail sentence attached if convicted. Client alleged to have hit a pedestrian causing near fatal injuries at the time and now a lifetime of incapacitation. Shortly before the matter was to proceed to a lengthy Supreme Court trial, the crown and the accused through counsel, agreed to a fair resolution resulting in a guilty plea to a non-criminal a Motor Vehicle Act offence. The client was particularly pleased because of the positive position this result put him in regarding an impending civil case and ICBC considerations. A criminal conviction as he was originally charged would have been devastating financially and come with significant jail time.
*R. v. M.R.(Surrey )
Client was arrested and charged with sexual assault. Charge forwarded by police to crown counsel. Crown likely not convinced of a reasonable likelihood of conviction. Charge not approved for court.
I strive to achieve the optimum outcome for every single client, because I know that your file is of the utmost importance to you.

*R. v. H.R.(Surrey )
–Client charged with theft over $5000 after much back and forth with the investigating officer he declined to forward any charges against the client. He was probably satisfied it was really a civil matter not a criminal one.
Client charged with a dated sexual assault. After a preliminary inquiry in Provincial Court in Nelson and a later Supreme Court trial also in Nelson the client was ultimately found not guilty.
