Richard Hewson leads Noonan Hewson Law Office's impaired driving and criminal defence practice group. He focuses on the defence of impaired driving, proceeds of crime, drug trafficking and assault cases throughout British Columbia. He has defended cases successfully in Vancouver and the Lower Mainland, Vancouver Island, as well as in the Okanagan and Thompson Valleys, in Northern British Columbia and in the Kootenays.

Richard has been called to the bar in British Columbia and the Yukon Territory.
Richard believes: "The presumption of innocence and the requirement of proof beyond reasonable doubt are two key principles of Canadian criminal law."

Richard believes thorough preparation wins criminal trials. Preparation starts with the initial contact with the client, and continues to the end of the trial. It includes investigation of the facts, research into the legal issues and development and execution of trial strategy.
