If you’re dealing with assault allegations in Belleville or Hastings County, it’s essential to consult a criminal defence lawyer promptly. Early legal guidance can dramatically influence how your case proceeds. At Daley, Byers, our extensive legal background equips us to navigate the justice system with you—step by step.
Types of Assault Charges We Defend
We defend clients charged under the Criminal Code of Canada, including:
- Simple Assault – s. 266
- Assault with a Weapon – s. 267(a)
- Assault Causing Bodily Harm – s. 267(b)
- Assault Choking – s. 267(c)
- Sexual Assault – s. 271
- Aggravated Assault – s. 268(1)
- Assaulting a Peace Officer – s. 270
Each case requires a strategic defence tailored to its facts and context.
Related Criminal Charges We Handle
Assault charges often come with other related offences. We also have extensive experience defending:
- Uttering Threats – s. 264.1(1)
- Criminal Harassment – s. 264
- Forcible Confinement – s. 279(2)

These are handled with the same focus, dedication, and attention to detail as our assault cases.
Domestic Assault Charges in Belleville
Every domestic assault case presents its own set of circumstances. The relationship dynamics and the events leading up to the charge are different in each instance. Typically, these cases fall under one of two main categories:
The parties wish to reconcile as soon as possible
When both individuals hope to resume their relationship, we act swiftly to pursue an early resolution. In some cases, we’ve concluded proceedings in under a week.
One or both parties have no desire to reconcile
When reconciliation is not possible or appropriate, we focus on moving the case forward with discretion and urgency—especially when special considerations such as immigration status or employment are involved.
Domestic-related assault charges are treated seriously by Ontario courts, with enhanced sentencing principles under section 718.2(a)(ii) of the Criminal Code. However, strategic legal defence can lead to outcomes such as:
- Charge withdrawals
- Peace bond arrangements (no conviction)
- Discharges or diversion options
We understand the sensitive nature of these matters and work discreetly to protect your legal rights, emotional well-being, and future prospects.
Possible Case Outcomes
Depending on the circumstances, your case may conclude with:
- Dropped charges
- Peace bond agreements
- Absolute or conditional discharge
- Suspended sentence with probation terms
- Conditional Sentence (house arrest with conditions)
- Incarceration for severe cases
We will outline all legal pathways available and push for the result that best serves your long-term interests.
