- Simple Assault – s. 266

Every charge is unique and demands a defence tailored to the incident’s specific facts and context.

We approach each charge with diligence, integrity, and strategic focus.
Domestic Assault Charges in Oshawa
No two domestic assault cases are the same. Each involves its own unique relationship dynamics and specific facts. Generally, these matters fall under two broad categories:

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 offences often result in increased scrutiny and stricter sentencing guidelines under section 718.2(a)(ii) of the Criminal Code of Canada. That’s why an informed and targeted legal approach is essential.
Possible outcomes in these cases include:
- Charges withdrawn
- Peace bond (with no criminal record)
- Discharge or participation in diversion programs
We understand the personal and legal challenges involved in domestic-related charges. Our goal is to resolve these cases respectfully, discreetly, and in a manner that protects your reputation and stability.
Possible Outcomes for Assault Cases
Depending on your case’s details, potential resolutions may include:
- Charges being dropped
- A peace bond agreement
- An absolute or conditional discharge
- A suspended sentence with probation
- Conditional sentence (house arrest with specific conditions)
- In more serious cases, incarceration
We will always explain your legal options clearly and fight for the most favourable resolution.
