Our Assault Lawyers Defend & Support You
In most domestic assault cases, the accused will be investigated to determine his or her criminal history, as well as the context of the alleged crime. The Crown Attorney must ascertain whether this was a first offence or if this or any other form of assault has been repeated over time. They will see if your partner desires to reconcile and if there were any witnesses to the alleged incident. Our lawyers will ensure that your rights are protected throughout the entire court process.

Our Client Testimonials
Most of the time, charges of domestic assault charges arise from tense situations when a 911 call is made. The police will then attend a residence to investigate, prevent any further conflict, and they always lay a charge if an assault, threat, or mischief complaint is made. When the complainant realizes that their partner is getting handcuffed and taken away by the police, the complainant may try to dissuade the police from laying charges.
However, there is nothing they can do to reverse or mitigate the charges once the arrest has been made. Even if the partner wants to drop the charges weeks or months later, most of the time, the Crown prosecutor will proceed with the charges, against their wishes. When this happens, it is better to just leave the situation in the hands of a good criminal lawyer.
