Charged with Assault in Milton? Start Building Your Defence Today
In Halton Region, the Milton Courthouse is the primary location for criminal cases, including those originating in Oakville and Burlington. If you’ve been charged with assault or a related offence, it’s essential to act quickly with experienced legal help. In some domestic assault cases our clients want their charges completed as soon as possible so that they can get back home. The earlier we can get started can sometimes assist in a very early conclusion.
Daley, Byers has the courtroom experience and legal insight to guide you through the criminal justice system while protecting your rights at every step.
Types of Assault Charges We Defend
We represent 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 of these charges requires a strategic, evidence-based defence tailored to the unique facts of your case.

Domestic Assault Charges in Milton
Domestic assault cases are treated with added seriousness by Ontario courts. Section 718.2(a)(ii) of the Criminal Code requires that assaults involving intimate partners or family members be considered aggravating during sentencing.
However, with the right legal strategy, outcomes may include:
- Outright withdrawal of charges
- Peace bonds without a criminal record along with withdrawal of charges
- Discharges or diversion programs
We understand the personal and legal complexities of domestic cases and work to resolve them quickly and discreetly, while protecting your interests.
Understanding the Milton Court Process
The Milton Courthouse, located at 491 Steeles Avenue East, handles most criminal cases in Halton Region. All charges in Halton Region start in the Milton court hosue. If your case goes to trial, it may be heard in Milton or, occasionally, in Burlington.
