If you’ve been charged with assault or a related offence in Brantford, early legal intervention is key. Whether you’re facing a first-time allegation or multiple charges, we can help you protect your record, reputation, and future.
Our team understands the urgency of many cases—especially domestic assault matters, where clients often want swift resolution to rebuild their lives. The sooner we begin, the sooner we can work toward a favorable result.
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.

Assault charges often come with other related offences. We also have extensive experience defending:
- Uttering Threats – s. 264.1(1)
- Criminal Harassment – s. 264

These are handled with the same focus, dedication, and attention to detail as our assault cases.
Defending Domestic Assault Charges in Brantford
Each and every domestic assault charge is unique. The allegations are unique, and the relationship is unique. However, they all will likely fall into two categories:
The parties wish to reconcile as soon as possible
When the parties wish to reconcile, we make tremendous efforts to get the case completed as soon as possible. We have completed some cases in 7 days or less.
One or both parties have no desire to reconcile
These cases may not have the same urgency; however, if there are special reasons to (for example, immigration or travel), all steps to expedite the process will be taken.
Domestic assault allegations are treated seriously in Ontario and are often considered aggravating factors under s. 718.2(a)(ii) of the Criminal Code when sentencing.
However, our experience shows that not all domestic cases lead to trial. Depending on the facts, we may be able to secure:
- A full withdrawal of charges
- A peace bond without a criminal conviction
- Diversion or discharge
We understand that many domestic cases involve families who want to reconcile quickly, and we take proactive steps to resolve these matters efficiently. In more contentious cases, we are prepared to vigorously defend your innocence at trial.
What Happens After You’re Charged?
Every criminal case follows a unique path, and we guide you through each step—from the first court appearance to a possible resolution or trial. We ensure you understand your options, the implications of each decision, and the best strategies to achieve the results you want.
Possible Outcomes:
- Charges withdrawn
- Peace bond agreement
- Conditional or absolute discharge (no criminal record)
- Probation or suspended sentence
- Conditional Sentence Order (house arrest with exceptions)
Jail sentence in more serious cases
