Domestic Assault Charges in Milton
Each and every domestic assault charge is unique. The allegations are unique and the relationship is unique. However, they all will likely fall into 2 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.

We understand the legal, emotional, and personal complexities of domestic assault cases. We work discreetly and proactively to resolve your case in a way that protects your interests and restores your peace of mind.
