Domestic Assault Charges in Richmond Hill
Each domestic assault case is highly individual—reflecting both the nature of the allegations and the dynamics of the relationship. However, most matters tend to fall into one of two 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 charges often carry elevated consequences in Ontario, as courts assess these matters with increased seriousness under section 718.2(a)(ii) of the Criminal Code.
Potential Outcomes Include:
- Charges withdrawn
- Peace bond agreements (with no conviction)
- Diversion programs or discharges
Our firm approaches domestic matters with careful discretion, aiming to protect your legal standing while reducing stress.
What Could Happen in Your Case?
Based on the unique facts of your file, possible legal results may include:
- Charges being dropped
- Peace bond resolution
- Absolute or conditional discharge
- Probationary sentence
- Conditional sentence (e.g., house arrest)
- Incarceration in more serious cases
We’ll walk you through every possible scenario and push for the result that protects your interests best.
