Mike C. Gilchrist

Mike C. Gilchrist is a criminal defence lawyer who understands your reputation, family, employment, travel opportunities, and most importantly your freedom are at stake when you are accused.

Choosing the right criminal defence lawyer is one of the most critical decisions you will make. Being charged with a criminal offence does not mean you are guilty, or you will be found guilty. If you want a professional lawyer who is responsive to your needs as a client and puts your interests first, Mike is the right choice for you. As with all of us here at Hoare Claxton, he believes no event exists without context and every difficult situation deserves to be examined in full for a fair trial to go forward.

Mike was called to the bar in Alberta in 2010. He has practiced law with a large Calgary law firm, a large international law firm, and as senior legal counsel with a large international company. Mike specializes in criminal defence work and thrives when working on challenging, complex, and novel issues.
