Domestic violence is any assault that occurs within a domestic relationship, such as between a wife and husband or boyfriend and girlfriend. Although domestic violence is not a separate charge in the Canadian Criminal Code, the criminal justice system handles it differently from other assault cases. If you’re convicted of domestic violence, you’ll be facing drastic penalties, as it’s an assault-related charge. Therefore, it’s essential to get experienced representation from a criminal defence lawyer to protect your rights and fight against the charges.

Kahlon Law is well-versed in domestic violence cases and has successfully represented numerous clients facing such allegations over the years. If you’re charged with domestic violence or related offences, contact our lawyers for expert legal advice.

Youths have a whole life ahead of them, and a criminal charge can hinder all their opportunities. This is why the criminal justice system treats them differently from adults. When a youth (a person below the age of 18) is charged with a criminal offence, in most situations, their case is prosecuted under the Youth Criminal Justice Act (YCJA). Although the YCJA provides more protection and limits prosecution, youths can still face devastating consequences if found guilty of committing a crime. If you or your loved one are charged with a youth offence, retaining an experienced criminal defence lawyer is crucial, as they’ll fight the charges to get a favourable outcome.
