    Your Questions, Our Clarity

    Facing assault charges and unsure what to do next? Our FAQs provide clear, straightforward answers—or contact us today to speak directly with a defence lawyer.

    Can an assault charge be withdrawn or reduced?

    Yes, in some cases. Crown Attorneys may consider withdrawal, diversion, or a peace bond resolution where certain factors are present, no significant injury, no weapon, no prior record, and a reasonable prospect of conviction issue.

    Identifying weaknesses in the disclosure is central to these negotiations. Inconsistencies in a complainant's statement, credibility concerns, or Charter issues can shift the Crown's resolution position. Whether withdrawal or reduction is realistic depends on the facts of your file and how it's presented in negotiations.

    Simple assault involves the intentional application of force without consent and covers the widest range of conduct. Assault causing bodily harm involves injuries that are more than trifling. Aggravated assault involves wounding, maiming, or endangering life — the most serious of the three.

    Domestic assault isn't a separate Criminal Code offence but refers to assault allegations involving intimate partners or family members.

    Each category involves different defence strategies, different Crown screening positions, and different typical outcomes.

    The timeline for a criminal case headed toward resolution is typically shorter than a matter proceeding to trial. In many cases, if the issue is resolvable, a resolution may be reached in approximately four-six months.

    One of the most common causes of delay in criminal cases is waiting for disclosure from the Crown. At the Brampton Courthouse, it generally takes approximately three months from the date of arrest to receive disclosure. Once disclosure is obtained, the case usually moves forward at a much faster pace.

    We understand how stressful and urgent these delays can feel. Our criminal lawyer is proactive in pushing for timely disclosure and works diligently to move your file forward as efficiently as the justice system allows.

    The first appearance is administrative. If you've retained counsel, your lawyer attends on your behalf — you don't need to appear personally. The matter is typically adjourned to allow disclosure to be received and reviewed.

    Most of the real work on an assault file happens outside of court: reviewing disclosure, meeting with the Crown, identifying defences, and negotiating resolution. The file usually won't be set for trial or plea at the first appearance.

    You have the right to remain silent and the right to speak with a lawyer in private before any interview.Exercising both rights is critical in assault files. These matters often come down to a "he said, she said" scenario — and the police interview happens before you or your lawyer has seen the complainant's statement, the witness evidence, or the rest of the Crown's case. Giving a narrative at that stage is like walking into a trial without having read the other side's evidence. Anything said can be used against you.

    Reviewing the disclosure first, with a lawyer, allows your side of the story to be shaped with full knowledge of what the Crown is alleging. If a statement has already been given, how it was obtained still matters — your lawyer will assess whether your rights were respected in the process.
