Have you been charged with a Criminal Offence Including but not limited to the following:

Assault Charge

There are numerous assault charges that you can be charged with and these charges vary in seriousness and complexity. The most common charge is the charge of common assault. An example of common assault is a non-consensual touch, a push, a slap

Domestic Assault Charge

A Domestic Assault charge differs from a common assault. A Domestic Assault charge is an assault on a family or household member and is considered an “aggravating factor” which makes sentencing for Defendants who are convicted, potentially more severe.

Sexual Assault Charge

Needless to say, being charged with Sexual Assault is an extremely serious charge. Not only are the jail sentences potentially significant, but the social stigma attached to a conviction can be devastating to your life. Offenders must register under SOIRA, Sexual Offender Information Registry Act, for a minimum of 10 years in a summary conviction and 20 years under an indictable conviction.

Assault with a weapon

The charge for Assault with a weapon is a very serious charge due to the use or the threat of the use of a weapon, which can cause serious bodily harm. In the eyes of the Court, many objects will be viewed as a weapon, a baseball bat, sticks, knives, guns, rocks, hammers, tools, and the list continues.
