Ottawa Criminal Defence - Assault

Violent offences often attract a jail sentence and permanent criminal record. We know that there is often more to the story than what the police allege. We have experienced numerous situations where issues of self-defence, defence of others, and defence of property have led to successful defences.

While the courts take all assault allegations seriously, the consequences of domestic violence charges are especially serious. Domestic charges often result in people being separated from their children and home. You need an experienced lawyer to work quickly and effectively in these stressful situations.

We have represented hundreds of men and women charged with assault, often resulting in charges being dropped before trial, or acquittals at trial.
