We specialize in helping everyday people avoid a criminal conviction for assault. Our office actively represents young professional including those employed in the financial sector, construction, banking, sales, medicine, government, public transportation, students and even retirees charged with assault for their first time. Our primary objective is to confidentially deliver a fresh start. When confronted with allegations of assault, hiring experienced and persuasive legal counsel is vital to a successful defence. Assaults arise in a variety of contexts, often between law abiding citizens involved in unexpected heated disputes, frequently observed in the entertainment district. A conviction of assault carries serious employment, travel, immigration and relationship consequences. We handle many situations where the alleged assault was completely unintentional. Depending on who the alleged assault was committed against, charges of assault are pursued differently. Assaults against individuals which fall within the definition of a “peace officer” are prosecuted more aggressively. Assaults against a spouse or cohabitant are also pursued differently. We actively defend a range of assault charges including Domestic Assault, Assault with a Weapon, Assault Causing Bodily Harm and Aggravated Assault.
