Timely legal advice can dramatically change the direction of your case. At Daley, Byers, we bring decades of experience and strategic insight to support you through Ontario’s legal system with clarity and strength.
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)

- 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)

These are handled with the same focus, dedication, and attention to detail as our assault cases.
Domestic Assault Charges in Niagara Falls
No two domestic assault charges are identical. The relationship dynamics and the accusations involved vary from case to case. However, these charges typically fall into one of two categories:
The parties wish to reconcile as soon as possible
When reconciliation is the mutual goal, we move quickly to resolve the matter. In many instances, we have achieved favourable outcomes in a matter of days.
One or both parties have no desire to reconcile
These cases might progress more steadily unless special circumstances—such as immigration status or travel restrictions—necessitate urgency. In such scenarios, we do everything possible to expedite proceedings.
Domestic assault allegations are taken particularly seriously in Ontario. Courts apply enhanced sentencing principles under section 718.2(a)(ii) of the Criminal Code, which means you need an experienced lawyer advocating on your behalf.
Possible positive outcomes include:
- Charges being dropped
- Peace bonds without a criminal record
- Diversion programs or discharge orders
We understand that domestic charges affect more than just your legal standing—they impact your personal life, reputation, and peace of mind. Our team works with sensitivity, speed, and precision to protect your interests.
Legal Outcomes We Aim to Achieve
Every case is different, but outcomes may include:
- Charges being withdrawn
- Peace bond agreements
- Absolute or conditional discharge
- Suspended sentences and probation
- Conditional Sentence Orders (house arrest)
- Jail time in the most serious instances
We will walk you through each possible result and pursue the resolution that best safeguards your freedom and 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
