Case Studies

Common Gaming House

Case Description: Operating a place where illegal gambling takes place

Solution: Mr. Venturi represented a 71-year-old woman charged with operating a gaming house in Greater Sudbury. The Crown sought a suspended sentence and $1,000 fine, but Mr. Venturi successfully argued for an absolute discharge, suggesting a $500 donation to a food bank instead. The judge agreed, ruling that a fine was unjust given the circumstances. Ms. Hyatt received an absolute discharge, showcasing Mr. Venturi’s effective defense.

Domestic Violence Charges

Case Description: Serious charges that usually involve a jail sentence.

Solution: Mr. Venturi achieved a favorable outcome for his client, who pled guilty to two counts of assault.

He emphasized his client's schizophrenia diagnosis and commitment to treatment, reducing the charges and avoiding jail time.
