Daniel

He was involved in a very serious incident with his wife that resulted in him facing seven criminal charges. 

He phoned his wife and threatened to kill her after she discovered he was cheating on her and informed the husband of the other woman. He was charged with uttering death threats, mischief, and assault. 

We achieved the best possible result in this case. I was able to have his bail conditions varied to allow him to visit with his child and to be present for the birth of his second child. He signed a peace bond with conditions and was able to avoid both prison and a criminal record.

Kyle

In a residence building on a post-secondary school campus, a young woman reported that an intoxicated young male unexpectedly knocked on her door and forced himself into her room. She said that she tried to stop him from entering before being pushed by the male and punched in the face. My client, Kyle, was arrested and charged for assault as it was believed he was the man who entered the residence room. 

He was instructed to complete 35 hours of community service and to submit a letter of reflection. Eventually his charges were withdrawn. He has no criminal record and the fingerprints and booking images taken by the police have been destroyed.

David

The RCMP was notified by the CBSA in the Cornwall area about a suspicious car. David was seated in the passenger seat of the car in a parking lot when two RCMP officers arrived and approached the car. An officer noticed a blanket covering items on the floor of the backseat and proceeded to search the vehicle and found 150,000 contraband cigarettes. David was arrested on site and was charged with possession of unstamped tobacco.

I presented several arguments to defend him, and was able to get all of his charges withdrawn.

Richard Auger had been practicing law for around seven years when in 2004 he burst onto the national legal scene, representing a key witness at the well-known Gomery Commission into the federal sponsorship scandal.

As one of the youngest lawyers acting for a major player at the Gomery Commission, it was a noteworthy appearance. That it came just two years following his work on another high-profile case, the Computer Leasing Inquiry in Toronto, only solidified his national legal reputation as a tough, relentless and well-prepared lawyer.

Since then the Auger Hollingsworth lawyer and owner has appeared in other high-profile cases, such as representing Karlheinz Schreiber in the 2009 Mulroney-Schreiber Oliphant Public Inquiry.

It all adds up to a startlingly successful career for the Ottawa native and graduate of both Carleton University (law/psychology) and the University of Ottawa (LLB). After his call to the bar in 1997, Richard worked at well-known legal firms McCarthy Tétrault and Edward Greenspan, Q.C. and Partners before launching Auger Hollingsworth Personal Injury Lawyers.

Richard’s unique mix of criminal and civil litigation expertise means he’s always well-positioned to represent all client needs. He was a recipient of the 2006 Forty Under 40 award by the Ottawa Business Journal, and has been quoted or interviewed by several major media outlets including CTV, The Globe and Mail, Ottawa Citizen, National Post, Toronto Star, Ottawa Citizen and Montreal Gazette. He’s also taught Trial Advocacy as a part-time professor at the University of Ottawa law school and as coach of the University’s Arnup Trial Advocacy team.
