Domestic Assault Charges in London
Each domestic assault situation is distinct. The dynamics of the relationship and the nature of the accusations are different in every case. However, domestic cases typically fall into one of two categories:
The parties wish to reconcile as soon as possible
In these scenarios, our top priority is to resolve the matter quickly. We’ve resolved cases in less than a week when both parties are cooperative and willing.
One or both parties have no desire to reconcile
While these cases may progress at a slower pace, urgent circumstances—such as travel restrictions or immigration considerations—can prompt us to push for a faster resolution.
Domestic assault charges in Ontario are treated with added gravity and may lead to stricter sentencing under section 718.2(a)(ii) of the Criminal Code. With a focused legal approach, outcomes can include:
- Charges withdrawn
- Peace bond agreements (no criminal record)
- Discharges or diversion alternatives
We handle these matters with discretion and determination to resolve them in the best way possible—always with your long-term interests in mind.

- Charges being dropped
