Facing Assault Allegations in Midland? Get the Legal Help You Deserve
If you’re being accused of assault in Midland or the Simcoe County area, early legal representation is key. The sooner you have a lawyer on your side, the better positioned you are for a successful defence. At Daley, Byers, we provide the insight and advocacy you need to navigate the justice system confidently.
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.
Related Criminal Charges We Handle
Assault charges often come with other related offences. We also have extensive experience defending:
- Uttering Threats – s. 264.1(1)
- Criminal Harassment – s. 264
- Forcible Confinement – s. 279(2)
- Intimidation – s. 423.1(1)
- Mischief (Over or Under $5000) – s. 430
- Indecent or Harassing Phone Calls – s. 372(2), 372(3)
These are handled with the same focus, dedication, and attention to detail as our assault cases.
Domestic Assault Charges in Midland
Every domestic assault case is different. The nature of the relationship and the context of the incident greatly influence the path forward. Typically, these cases fall into one of two situations:
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 charges in Ontario are taken very seriously. Courts may impose harsher penalties under s. 718.2(a)(ii) of the Criminal Code when the alleged victim is a domestic partner.
Our team works diligently, respecting the sensitivity of these cases, while aiming to protect your legal interests and help you move forward.
Potential Legal Outcomes
Depending on the facts of your case, potential results include:
- Charges withdrawn
- Peace bond agreements
- Absolute or conditional discharges
- Suspended sentences with probation
- Conditional Sentence Orders (house arrest with exceptions)
- Jail sentences in serious cases
We will explain all possible legal options and advocate for the resolution that best safeguards your future.
What You Can Expect in Your Free Consultation
During your initial consultation, we will:
- Review your charges and the facts of your case
- Outline possible defence strategies
- Discuss potential outcomes
