    There truly aren’t enough words to express how grateful my family and I are for Antar. He helped my sister through a difficult and overwhelming process, and from the very beginning, he treated us with kindness, honesty, and genuine care. He was always professional, incredibly knowledgeable, and took the time to make sure we fully understood every step. We never felt rushed or left in the dark , he was patient, supportive, and always had our best interests at heart. What stood out the most was how much he truly cared. It’s rare to find someone who is not only exceptional at what they do but who also makes you feel heard, respected, and supported throughout the entire journey. His guidance gave us peace of mind during a time when we needed it most. Thank you, for Antar, for everything you’ve done for my sister and our family. Your compassion, integrity, and dedication will never be forgotten. We are beyond grateful and would recommend you without hesitation to anyone in need of your services

    I recently had the privilege to work with Mr. Kahlon and he absolutely lives up to his reputation. He handled my case professionally and tirelessly over several months; eventually resulting in a hard fought win at trial! Antar is very patient and goes above and beyond for his clients. If you need representation, look no further! Edit.. The above doesn't change but with my second case he had the same resolve and guided me to a wholeheartedly resolution. I couldn't be happier with this result!

    What To Do When Charged With Aggravated Assault

    First Steps

    What To Do When Charged With Aggravated Assault

    Being charged with any criminal offence is frightening for most people, especially if it is a serious crime such as aggravated assault. The possibility of facing the full wrath of the law for violent crimes can be daunting, but it does not always have to be the case.

    Canadian criminal law is clear about the actions that constitute assault, and with the right lawyer by your side fighting for you, you can improve your chances of a favourable outcome in your case.

    The Law

    What Is Assault?

    Under Section 265 of Canada's Criminal Code, assault is defined as the deliberate application of force against someone, either directly or indirectly, without their consent.

    It is important to note that the definition of assault also includes the intention to cause immediate bodily harm, whether or not the actual act is committed. Many people do not realize this until they are faced with charges.

    This Charge

    Aggravated Assault

    The severity of aggravated assault charges warrants that it be classified as a separate category of assault because it involves a physical attack that causes severe and often permanent injuries, as determined by a doctor or another qualified professional.

    A person commits aggravated assault when they wound, maim, disfigure, or endanger the life of another individual. Aggravated assault is a straight indictable offence that carries a maximum penalty of 14 years.

    The Different Types of Assault

    Simple assault: This is one of the most common assault charges in Canada and can range from something as simple as laying hands on someone to a more serious attack, such as during a physical brawl.

    Assault with a weapon: A dangerous weapon, in this case, can be almost anything that can be used to cause physical injury to another person. This type of assault usually results in a mandatory weapons prohibition order being issued against the person convicted.

    Assault causing bodily harm: This type of assault, unlike simple assault, applies in cases where injuries can be proven to have occurred as a result of physical force being applied. Although the Criminal Code of Canada does not define "bodily harm," it includes any hurt or injury to a person that interferes with their health and comfort and is more than merely transient or trifling in nature. In this case, bodily harm can range from simple scratches or bruises to injuries as serious as broken bones.

    Sexual assault: Sexual assault in Canada is criminalized under Section 271 of the Criminal Code. The offence is defined as an assault committed in circumstances of a sexual nature, violating the sexual integrity of the victim. There are various sexual assault offences, including sexual interference, sexual assault causing bodily harm, sexual exploitation, and other classifications of sexual offences. The specific charge depends on the circumstances surrounding the offence. Factors such as the ages of the complainant and the accused, as well as the authority the accused has over the complainant, help determine the type of sexual assault allegations.

    Aggravated sexual assault: If a victim of sexual assault is wounded, disfigured, maimed, or placed in a life-threatening situation during the attack, the assault can be deemed aggravated sexual assault.

    Assaulting police officers: Criminal charges can be brought against a person who commits any form of assault, including causing serious bodily harm, to a police officer or peace officer performing their duties. This is charged as a separate offence from other types of assault.

    Punishment for an Aggravated Assault Conviction

    Aggravated assault is a straight indictable offence that carries a maximum penalty of 14 years. Certain extenuating circumstances determine the severity of the penalties.
