Our Proprietary Approach to Common Assault Charges

Assault charges are very serious. They can have significant consequences on your freedom or liberty, your employment opportunities, your relationship with your family, and your ability to travel internationally.

​

There are two sides to every assault charge. You need a lawyer who takes your side, believes in you and will fight to resolve your assault charge in a manner most favorable to you. As criminal assault lawyers, we appear in court for you, speak with the Crown Prosecutors on your behalf, resolve your charges, or take them to trial.

​

We humanize you in the eyes of the Crown Prosecutor

When a Crown Prosecutor receives your case from the police all they see is your name, a case number, your charge(s), and the details of your alleged crime. That’s it. 

 

Our proprietary approach in dealing with the Crown Prosecutors on your behalf is to expand their vision of you. To help them see you as a ‘person’ — a father, son, brother, mother, daughter, sister and so on. We ensure they are aware of hardships you’ve endured in life, your goals, your ambitions. We want them to understand the life pressures on you that may have been a factor when the alleged assault occurred. And through proposed diversion programs, we want them to understand how you are dealing with this situation in a way that is most favorable to ensure it never happens again.

 

Having ‘humanized’ you in the eyes of the Crown Prosecutor, the next step is to negotiate to have your assault charges reduced, dropped completely, or withdrawn as a result of proposed diversion programs, and resolved with small fines, community service, or a peace bond.

 

However, if we have to go to court to fight for you, we will aggressively defend you, fight for your rights, and  strive to have all charges against you withdrawn.
