Domestic Assault Charges in Etobicoke
No two domestic assault cases are exactly the same. Every situation, every relationship, and every allegation brings its own context. However, most cases fall into one of two broad situations:
The Individuals Are Looking to Reunite
When both parties wish to move forward together, we take immediate and proactive steps to resolve the case quickly. In certain instances, we’ve successfully resolved matters in less than a week.
There Is No Intention to Resume the Relationship
These cases may not carry the same urgency. Still, if circumstances such as immigration issues or international travel apply, we work diligently to accelerate the resolution process.
Domestic assault allegations come with serious legal consequences in Ontario. The courts are especially cautious in these matters, often applying enhanced penalties under section 718.2(a)(ii) of the Criminal Code.
Outcomes We May Seek Include:
- Charges being withdrawn
- Peace bond arrangements (avoiding a criminal record)
- Diversion or discharge programs
We appreciate the legal, emotional, and personal challenges that domestic assault charges create. That’s why we take a discreet, strategic, and solution-oriented approach—always aimed at protecting your rights and restoring your stability.
Legal Resolutions That May Be Available
Your outcome will depend on the facts of your case, but potential results can include:
- Withdrawal of charges
- Peace bond agreements
- Absolute or conditional discharges
- Suspended sentences with conditions
- Conditional sentence orders (such as house arrest)
- Jail time in more severe cases
We walk you through all potential scenarios and fight for the result that best protects your future.
