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 Choking – s. 267(c)
- Sexual Assault – s. 271
- Aggravated Assault – s. 268(1)

Each case requires a strategic defence tailored to its facts and context.

- Uttering Threats – s. 264.1(1)
- Criminal Harassment – s. 264

Domestic Assault Charges in Collingwood
Every domestic assault situation is complex in its own way. The allegations and the personal relationships involved can vary widely. Typically, these cases fall under one of two scenarios:
The parties wish to reconcile as soon as possible
In these cases, we work proactively to resolve the matter as fast as the legal system allows. We’ve resolved some domestic assault files in under a week.
One or both parties have no desire to reconcile
Even when reconciliation isn’t a goal, there may be pressing reasons—such as travel limitations or immigration concerns—that make a timely resolution important. We act swiftly to address such concerns.
Domestic-related assault charges often come with elevated legal consequences in Ontario. Courts are especially vigilant in these matters and may impose harsher sentencing under section 718.2(a)(ii) of the Criminal Code.
With a thoughtful and effective legal defence, possible outcomes include:
- Charges being withdrawn
- Peace bond arrangements (without criminal conviction)
- Diversion programs or discharges
We understand the emotional toll of domestic allegations and aim to resolve your case in a way that preserves your dignity and protects your future.
What Are the Possible Legal Outcomes?
Depending on the particulars of your case, potential resolutions may include:
- Charges dropped
- Peace bond agreements
- Absolute or conditional discharge
- Suspended sentence with probation
- Conditional Sentence Orders (such as house arrest with conditions)
- Incarceration in more serious instances
We’ll explain every possible outcome, advocate for your best interests, and build a strong case on your behalf.
What Happens in Your Free Case Review?
During your initial consultation, we will:
- Go over the details of your charges
- Identify potential legal arguments and defences
- Discuss possible outcomes and next steps
- Provide a transparent cost estimate
Answer all your questions—pressure-free
