If you’re charged with assault in Owen Sound or the surrounding Grey-Bruce Region, it’s essential to speak with a skilled criminal defence lawyer immediately. Early intervention often leads to better outcomes. Daley, Byers is here to help you navigate the justice system with clarity and confidence.
Types of Assault Charges We Defend
We defend clients charged under the Criminal Code of Canada, including:
- Simple Assault – s. 266

- Assault Causing Bodily Harm – s. 267(b)
- Assault Choking – s. 267(c)

These are handled with the same focus, dedication, and attention to detail as our assault cases.
Domestic Assault Charges in Owen Sound
No two domestic assault allegations are alike. The accusations, relationships, and circumstances vary—but typically fall under two general 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-related assault cases often result in more serious legal consequences in Ontario. Courts are guided by section 718.2(a)(ii) of the Criminal Code, which addresses offences involving intimate partners. With a skilled legal defence, possible results may include:
- Withdrawal of charges
- Peace bonds (with no conviction)
- Diversion programs or discharges
We understand the emotional and legal intricacies involved. Our priority is to handle your matter with discretion, care, and a focus on restoring your life and peace of mind.
Legal Outcomes You May Face
Outcomes in assault cases depend on the facts and nature of the allegation. Possible resolutions include:
- Charges being dropped
- Agreements to peace bonds
- Absolute or conditional discharges
- Probation with suspended sentence
- Conditional sentence (house arrest)
- Incarceration in serious cases
We’ll carefully review your case, explain each possible result, and advocate for the best possible outcome.
