More about Alex Steigerwald

Strong criminal defence representation demands even more than diligence and strategic preparation. You require results, which means you need a defence lawyer who understands your priorities and who cares about the outcome of your case. Your success is achieved through my strong advocacy and tireless effort on your behalf as I work for the outcome you need.

There is an art to handling cases and courtroom argument. My extensive experience allows me to know when it is best to confront the prosecutor with a position, and how best to negotiate for my client’s advantage. More importantly, I understand how to fight successfully for my client, and how to find the most effective strategy to meet your particular needs.

I have represented countless clients who find themselves trapped by the justice system in Manitoba and abroad. In spite of your circumstances, I will always strive to successfully represent you in a transparent, respectful, and professional manner.
