When a complaint of domestic assault is made to police in Toronto, the Crown prosecutor will decide whether or not criminal charges will proceed to trial. With the law as it is, wrongful accusations of domestic assault have increased. It is vital in these cases to mount a vigorous defense to ensure that the case is dismissed or a fair trial guaranteed and a not-guilty verdict secured. Even if the evidence against you is substantial, an experienced domestic assault lawyer can help mitigate the punishments so that you do not have to pay for the rest of your life for a single mistake. Domestic assault cases are complex. A lawyer without the necessary experience may overlook subtle issues, events, and legal issues that arise and that can make a big difference to your outcome.
