Domestic Assault Charges in Orillia
Each domestic assault file is different. The claims are distinct, and the dynamics of each relationship vary. However, domestic cases often fall into one of two scenarios:
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 cases in Ontario are treated with increased seriousness. Courts often apply enhanced sentencing considerations under s. 718.2(a)(ii) of the Criminal Code.
With the right legal approach, possible resolutions include:
- Withdrawal of charges
- Peace bond arrangements without a conviction
- Diversion programs or discharges
We are sensitive to the emotional and social complexities these charges bring. Our team approaches every domestic case with discretion and determination to reach a resolution that protects your personal and legal wellbeing.
Legal Outcomes You May Face
Depending on your unique case details, possible legal results include:
- Charges being dropped
- A peace bond (no criminal record)
- Conditional or absolute discharge
- Suspended sentence with probation terms
- Conditional Sentence Order (house arrest with some exceptions)
- Incarceration for severe offences
We will clearly explain every available legal path and fight for the resolution that best secures your future.
