At Daley, Byers, we offer a strategic, informed, and experienced defence that gives you confidence throughout the legal process.
Types of Assault Charges We Defend
We defend clients against all forms of assault under the Criminal Code of Canada, including:
- Common Assault – s. 266
- Assault Using a Weapon – s. 267(a)
- Assault Causing Physical Harm – s. 267(b)
- Choking or Strangulation Assault – s. 267(c)
- Sexual Assault – s. 271
- Serious (Aggravated) Assault – s. 268(1)
- Assault Against Law Enforcement – s. 270
Each of these requires a distinct, fact-driven defence strategy, and our team is equipped to deliver that.
Related Criminal Charges We Handle
Assault allegations are often accompanied by other criminal charges. We have extensive experience in handling related accusations such as:
- Threatening Death or Harm – s. 264.1(1)
- Ongoing Harassment – s. 264
- Unlawful Confinement – s. 279(2)

We approach every file with the same dedication and attention to detail, no matter the complexity.
Domestic Assault Charges in Barrie
No two domestic assault charges are alike. The allegations are specific, and the dynamics between the individuals involved are often complex. That said, most domestic assault matters fall into one of two situations:
Parties Seek Reconciliation
If both individuals wish to resume the relationship, we act swiftly to help resolve the matter as efficiently as possible. In some cases, resolution has been achieved within a week.
No Desire to Reconcile
In cases where reconciliation is not the goal, we still aim to resolve the matter promptly—especially if urgent personal circumstances (e.g., immigration or travel needs) exist.
Domestic assault charges in Ontario are taken very seriously and may result in harsher penalties under section 718.2(a)(ii) of the Criminal Code. With the right defence, possible outcomes include:
- Charge withdrawals
- Peace bonds without a criminal record
- Discharges or entry into diversion programs
We recognize the emotional, legal, and personal challenges of these matters and strive for a resolution that defends your rights and supports your well-being.
Possible Legal Results
Depending on your specific circumstances, potential resolutions can include:
- Charges being dropped
- Peace bond arrangements
- Absolute or conditional discharge
- Suspended sentence with probation
- Conditional Sentence Orders (such as house arrest)
- Custodial sentences in severe cases
We will thoroughly review all possibilities and guide you toward the outcome that protects your best interests.
