Domestic Assault Charges in Peterborough
No two domestic assault cases are the same. The accusations are unique, and so is the relationship dynamic. These cases generally fall into one of two categories:
The parties wish to reconcile as soon as possible
In such instances, we act swiftly to try and bring the matter to resolution. In some scenarios, we’ve resolved cases in as few as seven days.
One or both parties have no desire to reconcile
These situations might proceed at a different pace, but if there are compelling reasons—such as immigration status or international travel—we will take immediate steps to accelerate proceedings
Domestic assault charges carry serious weight in Ontario courts. Judges often consider increased sentencing under section 718.2(a)(ii) of the Criminal Code.
Possible outcomes with the right legal approach include:
- Charges withdrawn
- Peace bond agreements without criminal conviction
- Diversion or discharge resolutions
We recognise the emotional and legal intricacies of domestic assault cases. Our team works with care and confidentiality to resolve your matter in a way that supports your long-term well-being.
Potential Case Results
Depending on your individual circumstances, outcomes may include:
- Withdrawal of charges
- Peace bond agreements
- Conditional or absolute discharges
- Suspended sentences and probation
- Conditional Sentence Orders (house arrest with provisions)
- Jail time in more severe cases
We’ll walk you through all possible legal avenues and advocate for the resolution that protects your rights and future.
